ok, well, that's definitely not safe. But I guess you have a good immune system.

But I'm not just asking for my own safety; I'm asking for the safety of others. If I wipe my asshole with my hand and then wash my hands really well with soap, then I go to the kitchen to prepare a (raw) salad for a group of people, including some who are immunocompromised -- is it possible that I could cause someone to get sick because of fecal-to-mouth transfer? Or is washing my hands with soap and water sufficient to prevent that potential vector of disease?

you won’t have much feces clinging unless you’re really hairy

Generally the butt hole has more accumulated feces if it's a soft stool, very hairy, and ... I spent an hour on lemmy, so it's all crusted-up

Even once on my face when I was too slow to dodge.

This needs further explanation

Why was this downvoted?

Does it depend on the soap? Is normal (non-antibacterial) soap sufficient in this situation?

wait, when there's a sprayer people don’t use their hand? Gross! How do they know it’s clean of debris if they don’t even wipe it?

Also, if you spray up then that means the sprayer gets covered in poopy water. Gross!

I always aimed the sprayer at my back and wiped with my hand. It seems super rude to spray from below :(

Why?

people don't use their hand when using a bidet? Gross! How do they know it's clean if they don't wipe?
