Ironically, poop isn't so bad. You can get water-borne illnesses from poop but you get the nasty air-borne stuff (ie TB, measles) via saliva. Water-borne diseases can be avoided by drinking clean water. Air-borne diseases cannot be so easily avoided.
Have you gotten a lot of TB and Measles while riding the subway?
