The German Federal Center for Health advises closing the toilet lid when flushing to prevent the spread of germs and pathogens. Flushing with the lid open can disperse bacteria and viruses, including those causing diarrhea, throughout the bathroom. A study indicated that germs can be propelled over a meter high during flushing. To enhance hygiene, it's recommended to keep toothbrushes away from the toilet, wash hands thoroughly after use, and regularly change towels. Additionally, maintaining a clean bathroom environment is crucial to minimize the risk of infection.
