Is Diarrhea contageous?!


Question:

Is Diarrhea contageous?

if someone has diarrhea, can you catch it from them.
it's not like some serious stomach virus or anything
its just the runs


Answers:

It can be contageious if it's from a viral or bacterial infection. But if it's just from something someone ate, then no.

Just make sure the person that has the "runs" properly washes their hands like anyone else using the bathroom would. Feces is still germy and can make you sick due to the E. Coli in it...so either way, if you use the bathroom...wash your hands.
