Risk from toilets?

Some hours ago i frequented a public toilet....i m very paranoid now...i cleaned the sitting chair with the tissue as much as i could....i still used the public jetspray(which could be the source of infection)...i m very regretful of using the public toilet..
i know you cant catch hiv this way...i have taken hepatitis A and B vaccines when i was a child..i m 23 now....
what are the chances of contracting hcv(hepatitis C) this way through a dirty toilet? please answer me!

I agree with NYgirl.  There is no chance.  You should educate yourself.
It can only be transmitted with blood
