Covering seat with toilet paper is a bad idea!
There's 150 percent more bacteria in the toilet paper dispenser than on the toilet seat because people with poop on their hands are more likely to touch the toilet paper area than the seat.
These bacteria are associated with urinary tract infections, pneumonia and womb infections. However, there is one way to prevent contracting any of the illnesses.
A wise idea is to carry your own toilet paper because that's where the most bacteria is and the toilet paper touches sensitive areas. The skin on the legs and butt that touches the seat is adept at fighting bacteria.
Some testing by the Arizona College of Public Health found that toilet seats tend to have 1,000 bacteria or less living on them. While that seems like a lot, you're still unlikely to catch any infectious diseases from a seat but watch the paper!
