I find that hard to accept. The drain pipe in a toilet is S-shaped, the trap that prevents sewer gas from entering the room is under or behind the toilet bowl.

It is impossible to clean the S shaped trap (you cant even see it), and the water inside the bowl stays in contact with the water in the trap.

Dogs do drink from toilets, they also lick their butts, and they lick the faces of some dog owners

and people do get ecoli and other infectious diseases, and infect other people (esp if they happen to work in a resturant, food market...)

How they got sick in the first place? Who knows for sure? No matter how you look at it, slurping out of a toilet used by strangers sounds like a bad idea.
