Following the reddit discussion I learned just about everything has poo on it, even somebody's toothbrush, and every other public touchscreen would be similar affected. Wash your hands before eating. The article is largly hyperhole.

"Reminds me of the myth busters episode where they tested toothbrushes in bathrooms to see if airborne poo was getting on them. It was, but they even found trace amounts of fecal matter on fresh toothbrushes straight out of the package."

Pretty much poop everywhere. I’m stitting on a bench right now that I’m sure has had a lifetime of bird shit on it. Wiped clean of course but fecal matter must be all over it.

We’re constantly being told to avoid being ‘too’ clean so I just pretend it’s a positive, and I wash my hands before I eat.

I was under the impression that any sort of useful dirt is pretty much poop as well.
