Does letting urine sit in the toilet cause a health risk?

Postby blitz » Wed Oct 01, 2008 8:55 pm

I was just wondering if letting urine sit in the toilet causes a health risk. I usually flush once a day. I had some stains or build up left in the toilet and i threw some left over macaroni down the toilet and some water splashed on my frying pan if i washed it is it still good to use? I wont get sick? Thanks for your time.

Hello,
No, this would not pose a health risk. However, if you get visitors who use your toilet, it might not be a good social move.

Best wishes.
