Rhonda, if you are so worried about hygiene you will
probably have to wash "it" and wpe "it" ;)
On one of my recent trip to Australia, I noticed that the
australia men seldom wash their hand after they pee. Is that
true for women in Australia?
That sort of make me believe that one should never eat nuts and
crackers in the pubs.
It's not just in Australia, but in Singapore too. A lot of
women just do a cursory half-hearted handwashing, perhaps just to
avoid stares and glares, but the handwashing is not sufficient
enough to remove germs and bacteria one might have come into
contact with erm... when engaging in erm... private voiding
activities in the cubicles. 
Don't get me wrong... I'm not obsessively nor compulsively
clean. I think my apartment is kinda testament to that.
But I do think that it's very important to
have good personal hygiene because there are some pretty nasty
bacteria that thrive in the nether regions and we do have cases
where E. Coli gets out of the nether region, and into the body via
the mouth! YUCKS!!!
Here, from Wikipedia :
Transmission of
pathogenic E. coli
often occurs via fecal-oral transmission.
Common routes of transmission include: unhygienic food preparation
(ie. cooks or others who handle food
and don't wash their hands properly after their toilet break!
Eeeeeewww!!!), farm contamination due to manure
fertilization (therefore, PLEASE wash
your vegetables and fruits thoroughly!), irrigation of crops
with contaminated greywater or raw sewage, feral pigs on cropland,
or direct consumption of sewage-contaminated water. Dairy and beef
cattle are primary reservoirs of E. coli O157:H7, and they
can carry it asymptomatically and shed it in their feces.
Food products associated
with E. coli
outbreaks include raw ground beef (thinks of elindra and her beef
carpacio! ) , raw seed
sprouts or spinach, raw milk, unpasteurized juice, and
foods contaminated by infected food workers via fecal-oral
route.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, the fecal-oral cycle of transmission can be
disrupted by cooking food properly, preventing cross-contamination,
instituting barriers such as gloves for food workers, instituting
health care policies so food industry employees seek treatment when
they are ill, pasteurization of juice or dairy and
proper hand washing
requirements.
Words in Jade-Green are my own. 
So, if you go to the toilet on a pee- or poo- mission, and come
out without washing your hands properly nor thoroughly enough, and
then pop food into your mouth, your tasty food will be even tastier
because it would be seasoned with E. Coli!! 
Whilst E. Coli is an essential flora in
the gut, it is not meant to be consumed orally! Yucks!!!
