Question: Do you get E-Coli if you don't wash your hands after a bowel movement?
Answers:
Nope.
The pathogenic E. colis don't normally live in humans. Most come from cows. The only way they'd be in your feces is if you were already sick with them.
absolutely! you can get renal failure from this and spread disease to others. This is why you wash berries and lettuce and anything on trees or ground: e coli from other animals can be on the produce. If cows are not slaughtered properly and they nick the bowel and it gets in the meat.......you can injest this and become seriously ill.
