Yeah, why is that if you wipe to vigorously and get scratches around your butthole, it doesn’t get infected by all the poop ?

    Generally “poop bacteria” such as e-coli do not cause skin infections, they thrive in a different environment. Even infections in the anal region are generally caused by skin bacteria such as Staphylococcus.

      Beyond skin infections, what happens when they enter your bloodstream? Id figure that’d happen with a broken hemorrhoid, since it’s basically and open wound that poop just sits on all day
