In this case you very much can and would get it from a toilet seat the viral load is highest in the bathroom. This virus doesn’t need a mucus membrane to cross the dermal layer it is fully capable of infecting perfectly healthy skin just like a herpes virus or a HPV virus any of those can spread skin to skin or surface to skin contact. It’s just the way it works sometimes. No tinfoil quackery meeded.
This is the actual hard science behind it with all the viral loading and data for those with the intellectual ability to comprehend it.

How,long does mp last on surfaces outside the body though? .ike,with herpes, it doesn’t last very long apparently on hard surfaces, but on soft surfaces like towels, I guess it lasts a bit longer.
Re: 22 - Oh please, stop the histrionics.
The study you cite was done in a health facility setting with patients with active monkeypox infections. That is not the setting that most people perform daily activities. You’re taking a highly particularized study and trying to force its findings to apply in settings where study parameters would be vastly different.
And the study authors were direct in qualifying their research:
“Those living in the same households of affected individuals should be advised that, in addition to avoiding close physical contact, disinfection of shared skin- and hand-contact surfaces might be useful to prevent transmission. At the present time, the viral load on inanimate surfaces required for disease transmission is unknown.”
