Does Touching Contaminated Surfaces Cause Gastrointestinal Problems?
Question: What types of poisonings or household problems that people arent aware of could cause GI issues?
Brief Answer:
Everything contaminated the touches that mouth can cause GI problems
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your question.
I read it carefully.
Everything that involves swollowing of a substance, or touching by hands of something contaminated (like toilets) can cause GI problems. So hygiene (washing hands often, washing well everything you put into your mouth) is very important to preventing these problems.
Do you have any specific concern? Why the reason of your question? Let me which are your symptoms and I will help to advice accordingly.
Looking forward to your follow up question.

Dr.Papaqako
