Can you get herpes from a toilet seat?
It's nearly impossible to get genital herpes from a toilet seat. It's a sexually transmitted disease spread by skin-to-skin contact. Typically, the virus gets into the body via mucous membranes found in your genitals, mouth, or anus. The virus also gets into your body through tiny tears and scrapes. Symptoms include raw, cracked, or red areas on the genitals with no tingling or pain. You may also experience itching or tingling near the genitals or anus. Small blisters sometimes break open and develop into painful sores.
