The people you share your home toilet with are bound to spread any pathogens they're carrying to you in multiple way. You are likely touching the same things, eating the same things, touching them, kissing them, etc. A public toilet may be used by hundreds of people each day and is the single common point of contact and thus carries more potential for spread of pathogen

But the pathogens your genetically close relatives carry, are ones they did not shrug off, and are probably better suited to stick around you too.

(Just a thought, loads of holes in it, but it may be true in some edge cases.)

You probably share enough other contact with such people that you will get what they have anyway.
