The only "trick" I've learned to keep my poop somewhat contained is putting toilet paper on top of the water. Unfortunately with loose poop, with bearing down hard, with gas launching poop at supersonic speeds, it splashes hard onto the water and ends up on top, underneath and around the toilet seat, back and bowl. I use wipes to clean each time but frankly the residue too often doesn't show up until later when it dries out. Not ideal but it's been okay. However, now I've got my daughter, son-in-law and their soon to be born twins moving in with us for a year or so; I'm concerned about the twins health. I can of course be extra careful, wipe each and every time with Clorox wipes but I'd like to know just how big a health deal it is to be exposed to a little bit of someone else's poop. I have to believe it happens in normal households on a regular basis in some form or another. Can anybody offer any words of wisdom? Is a little poop a health hazard to infants?
