Trace amounts of feces

Today I went to the bathroom at the airport and felt a big splash back from the toilet water. I didn't think much of it until after I came out and kissed my girlfriend. Then I remembered that my lips had felt a bit wet just before.
In the off chance that the splash came all the way to my lips or that when I was washing my hands some water hit my lips and I had trace amounts of feces on them when I kissed my gf, is that dangerous?
If so, how long would it take to develop symtoms.
We're on a trip now and I hate to worry about this.
Thanks

If you and your girlfriend are healthy human beings? then forget it and just put it to the back of your mind, unless you a freak like Jerry Seinfeld.
Good Luck

I guess it is possible if you were leaning forward and your legs were open some when the toilet water splashed up. I wouldn't worry about it, but if you develop any new symptoms I would get checked out.

Did the toilet water hit your face or your bottom? Maybe when you washed your hands you got your mouth wet. It isn't likely it would splash that far. Even if it did which I doubt, it is very unlikely to get ill this way. I don't believe there are any reports of this nature that one got an illness in this manner. I wouldn't worry.
