This may seem a bit obvious, but I just want to be sure: if you have a cut on your anus (please don't ask!) and you take a crap, are you at risk for getting e coli or something?
yes and no. Chances are that the cut has closed over and there is no foreign matter coming in. The risk is minimal at this point unless the cut continues to open up and bleed.
If you're healthy, and the wound isn't re-opening, I wouldn't be concerned.
That being said, yes there is large number of bacteria in your poop that would like nothing more then to get into your blood stream, or just your soft tissue. These are digestive bacteria and you're meat.
Interesting did you know: The normal flora in a persons gut is unique to themselves. There isn't another person who has the same bacterial colonization spread as your self. Given that your crap contains the excess bacteria, dead bacteria, and bacterial waste, you could identify a person based on their dookie. It probably wouldn't hold up in a court of law, but you could be poo-printed.

Craven Morehead.......Thanks for the information. In future crime sprees I shall try not to leave and damning evidence laying around.
I think we could possibly be identified by our assholes also, I have seen a few and they all looked slightly different. Don't sit on a clean surface with a dirty ass at a crime scene.
_______Eat chilies and feel the burn!!
If you don't walk around with a nasty, dirty, un-wiped ass all day, I wouldn't think you would be at much risk. But you have to be sure to wipe. The number of people I'm guessing are walking around with un-wiped asses (based on the number of shit-filled public toilets I've seen, with no toilet paper in sight) is staggering. Society really has gone down the shitter.
So, yeah - wipe your ass! _______"...you guys are missing the genius of Turdgutson's idea. We should certainly not be shitting in the sink, but why not invent a Toilet Disposal? Your tampon, giant turd, or some hooker's hand won't flush? Just flip a switch!" - SamDamnit
It depends on the name of your poop and if it was a boy or girl poop. Girl poops are definitely put you at higher risk for infection because they contain more bacteria compared to boy poops. And girl poops who's names begin with the letters A - G are much more likely to cause infection although there has been little research into why this is the case.
Thanx everyone...my friend says I should explain the cut, but I don't know if it's really appropriate for this site..._______I will never shit somewhere that only has that horrible, scratchy brand of toilet paper. That stuff sucks!
I tend to think that any risk of disease is minimal compared to the risk from actually obtaining the cut.
Ummm...it may be obvious to everyone else, but I could be a little slow today, I have no idea what your comment is, Regifter. Plz explain. :D_______I will never shit somewhere that only has that horrible, scratchy brand of toilet paper. That stuff sucks!
Just a scenario: Let's say you sat on a wooden board or something and get a sliver in your asshole producing the cut. I would assume the risk of disease would be greater from that than from your feces, providing your anus is kept pretty clean. I mean I'm no doctor but seems like it to me.
Oh, I get it now. At the risk of getting a lame comment thing, I shall explain. I was in the shower, and i dropped the shampoo bottle ( a variation of the prison joke don't drop the soap) No, I havea faucet with a little pin that you pull up to take a shower, and when I went to pick up the bottle, I sat right on the pin, hich I have now found out has a very sharp edge. Hence, a cut, leading to this question._______I will never shit somewhere that only has that horrible, scratchy brand of toilet paper. That stuff sucks!
This thread brings up a good point. Those of you who choose to follow my four-step program for 'roid removal would do well to have a couple of antiseptic prep pads handy to clean the site following the procedure, as well as a branding iron of some sort t cauterize the wound. _______"...you guys are missing the genius of Turdgutson's idea.

In prison, you might get pricked in the shower, but it won't be from a pin.
Hahahaha, nice, prarie doggin. Very true..._______I will never shit somewhere that only has that horrible, scratchy brand of toilet paper. That stuff sucks!
CravenMorhead, I know this is a little off topic but I just wanted to tell you that I love your name.
It reminds me of a radiologist I knew who actually got the hospital operator to overhead page Dr. Craven Moorehead. We have no such doctor of course but she didn't get the joke.
The rest of us did and we were hysterical.
Does all poop have e coli? If it doesn't, it would depend on your own personal but, I guess.
poopertrooper, it took guts to admit how you cut your butt.

Daphne.......you can read all about it at http://www.textbookofbacteriology. net/e.coli.html.....but the answer is yes. all warm blooded animals have e-coli in their intestines. The site says humans are usually cultured with the bacteria within 40 hours of birth.
Thank you daphne. I'm glad I'm not going to get e coli or some other fecal-related disease._______I will never shit somewhere that only has that horrible, scratchy brand of toilet paper. That stuff sucks!
Whoever/however my comment explaining the cut got edited, thank you!!! :D_______I will never shit somewhere that only has that horrible, scratchy brand of toilet paper. That stuff sucks!
I should have mentioned above that there are different types of e-coli bacteria. A good analogy would be, if your back yard were infested with cats it would be better to have tabbies and calicos rather than lions and leopards.
Green Pooper Trooper,
I wouldn't be too worried then. While the washroom is a haven for bacteria, the vast majority being fecal coliforms, the bugs that you will find have already made their way through that particular orifice.
Make sure the wound is clean. If it continues to bleed see a doctor. A doctor is more knowledgeable then a forum of poop fanatics. I can't stress this enough, doctors have seen shit worse then what you have. Shame and embarrassment aren't an excuse, unless you are willing die from embarrassment. :-)
With respect to E.coli, every mammal has their own particular strain of the bacteria. It is a beneficial little bug. It is when you get a foreign strain that you get the troubles. For example, bovine E.coli or strain 0157:H7 produces a toxin that does nasty things to your digestive tract. Hamburger poisoning. Salmonella, the fowl cousin of E.coli, does pretty much the same thing.
It's starting to heal, so I don't think I have any worries. Yay! :D_______I will never shit somewhere that only has that horrible, scratchy brand of toilet paper. That stuff sucks!
Sooner or later, most or all of us will get anal fissures, hemorrhoids, or other anal lesions, mostly small and temporary. There are lots of over-the-counter medications for such a condition. The ones I'm acquainted with are supposed to heal the wound, not sterilize it; the assumption seems to be that your own poop is the only poop that will pass by that wound, and you've already been exposed to the bacteria in your own poop. So wipe well, wash your anus well when showering, and do your best to heal the wound, and you should be fine. If it continues to bleed or hurt for more than a few days, see the doctor.
Um, yeah. What MSG said.
I don't think the poop can harm you on its way out! _______Rock-n-roll! Poopy-poo!
I've cut my anus before too... from shaving! It hurt.
I didn't get any infections, though.
I hate hair down there... ugh!
