Public toilet seats are significantly less hazardous to health than their pens. This was told by Professor Primrose Freestone of Leicester University. She also told how to "behave", having appeared in such a toilet, in order to protect your body as much as possible.In order to avoid intestinal infections, Freestone urges not to fear sitting, and try to touch as little as possible with the hands of any objects that are in a public toilet. According to the scientist, most often dangerous bacteria that can "live" in a public toilet, get into the human body, if they first find themselves on his hands, and from there they get into his mouth. In this regard, the specialist calls for as much as possible to wash hands, giving soaping hands for at least twenty seconds and paying attention to the space under the fingernails. This is especially important when you consider that just before that, a person who wants to get a liquid soap clicks on a button on which all previous visitors to the toilet have stung before him with unwashed hands.

After washing hands, do not grasp them by the door, since less conscious people could also hold it for it. Fristoun offers to take a napkin or a paper towel in his hand and open the door to her, and if that is not in the toilet, press the handle with the sleeve of the sweater or elbow.

Another common mistake is the use of a mobile phone on the toilet's territory - according to statistics 75% of people can not resist against this, because of what screens of mobile phones are sometimes ten times dirtier than, so frightening some people toilet seats.

Freestone, whose words lead publication Conversation, also stressed that in most of the developed countries public toilets are kept clean, so that visiting them is much less dangerous to health than it may seem to some hypochondriacs
