e coli?

[ta3jun]

this is embarrassing, but while i was drying up after i took a shower, i farted without having any underwear on.  i didn't think much of it then, but i continued to dry myself and when i dried my butt with the towel i didn't wash my hands after because i normally don't (and i normally don't fart w/out any clothes on).

1.  i read that farts carry e.coli, because that's what they're made out of.  did i possibly get some on my hand? ii was wondering how long they could live?  i touched my computer afterwards, worried that it got onto there.

2.  i had several towels very close to me both on the floor and directly behind me at the time that i farted, and i read that farts can travel a good distance especially if you're not wearing underwear.  are they infected?  should i remove it from other people using?

i actually posted another question.  i can't believe this is continually happening but here's the link, if you could check it out, i would appreciate it!  thanks

Well, you have no need to worry. You shouldn't have E. coli unless you got poop and not a fart on the towel etc. Here is a link to the composition of farts. They are mostly gases as you can tell by the smell methane is one of the components or sometimes hydrogen sulfide. Mostly they are made up of hydrogen and nitrogen. Some sugar breakdown may be in there too. So, despite their smell and that they do come from the breakdown of bacteria and food you should be A-OK.
