I learned this in undergrad microbio. This is why you should close your toilet lid when you flush (and not keep your toothbrush near your toilet).

Then again our crazy scottish professor also claimed aluminium foil was superior to soft absorbent toilet paper…

Somebody for sure is going to drink this to prevent the flu. Poor Clorox will need a new warning label. Thanks for explaining the medical nomenclature in a way that a non virologist can understand. This student of life likes your site – Regards

Toilet seats are much cleaner than faucets, soap dispenser and countertop in a public restroom.
Public phones are much worse. Computer keyboards harbor a lot of germs too.

The good news is that unlike hepatitis viruses that can survive outside of the body for days and even months (Hepatitis A), flu virus is much more fragile.

It can live for 24-48 hours on hard surfaces, 8-12 hrs on soft surfaces. It remains infectious for only 2 to 8 hrs after its life on a hard surface and only up to a few minutes after being deposited on a soft surface outside of the body: http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/alert-alerte/swine-p...

Having GI symptoms does not mean the virus is in the GI tract – there
are other ways for viruses to cause such symptoms without replicating
there. The incidence of GI symptoms with 2009 H1N1 virus infections
needs to be examined by looking for virus in feces.

this is not only for toilets but also for surfaces, water, dishwater,laundry,…
WHO has warned that Mexflu could be in bowels since GI-symptoms
are common (other than with normal flu)

Good point. I am also sick of all this marketing strategies trying to sell more of their products (in general, not only bleach) by taking advantage of the fear and ignorance (lack of knowledge) of the consumers.
