Brief Answer:
Immediate disinfection recommended

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but you should immediately remove any fecal parts that came in contact with your skin.

Afterward, you should disinfect the contaminates areas with Dettol and water...

This should be enough if fecal matter did not come in contact with any skin break or mucous membranes.

I hope you find this helpful...
