Can you get any type of illness/ailment after using a bath towel that was placed on an outer toilet seat?

You did read right. Each time a toilet is flushed it does spew some bacteria not to mentions microns of fecal matter into the air. It is possible but highly unlikely that you would have any thing to worry about in this incident however even clean hospital toilets have bacteria on them and laying anything on them and using them near your face could put you at a small risk of a multitude of things. But if your not having any symptoms I don't think that I would sweat it. Just my opinion not any form of medical advice. Good Luck
