Question: Can you really catch any nasty diseases from sitting on a toilet seat? There are so many myths about this. If you can, what will you catch?

Answer: It's highly unlikely. The seat part of the toilet is usually very clean, and tests have shown that per square centimetre, your office desk has 50 times more bacteria than a toilet seat. In fact, you probably have more germs in your kitchen sink.\n\nAlso, if you think about it, normally only the backs of people's legs touch a toilet seat, and it's not very easy to transmit disease that way.
