Folks Its these uninformed and uneducated urban legends that spread myths. A common misbelief is that infestation can be spread by sitting on a toilet seat. This isn't at all likely, since lice cannot live long away from a warm human body. Also, lice do not have feet designed to walk or hold onto smooth surfaces such as toilet seats. Toilet seats are white, ergo, I (and you) can see a dirty or wet toilet seat prior to sitting and evacuating your bowels. If its dirty or wet, move to one that is not. This is so easy, I’m surprised folks are confused by this. Your butt cheeks and thighs are not prone to absorbing infectious matter and allowing into your blood stream so you have nothing to fear except fear itself. Its an arse cheek after all, its not something you use for other things (unless you are an arse scratcher that then chews his fingernails) so perhaps that what I am reading here, I think you doth protest too much (a little Billy Shakespeare for ya) Wash yor hands when you are finished (like the rest of us civilized folks do) and you can get through life without these unfounded and irrational phobias. Stop being an arse picker and you will be ok.
