As long as you don't plan on sticking your face in the bowl and gargling, I think you're safe. If the toilet looks like someone was playing handball with a brownie, then clean it with some comet and a toilet brush, and do your thing. Hope everything comes out ok!

ah sweetheart i think you are safe. Bile from the stomach (the throw up) is not going to hurt you. Yes bacteria from the diarreah is bad, but it would have to enter your body somehow. In addition, i think that bacteria can only live for a small amount of time outside a human body. If you are concerned just try to clean it up the best you can (even if it is just paper towels), wash your hands and do your business...

Most likely it is perfectly safe, however if you are worried about it...
Take half cup of bleach and mix it with about half gallon of water. Pour some in the bowl and clean with a toilet brush...then take a spray bottle and spray some of the solution on the seat and rim and wipe clean with paper towels.

Have you ever heard of cleaning products and cleaning the toilet?

its probably safe, but clean it with a bleach based cleaner. for now. in the future consider investing in seventh generation and shaklee as they are good for the environment and best for ur bottoms. see, abbrasives may contaminate the toilet seat which will affect your nakey behind. ok :) so good luck! (oh, and where's your mom? y don't u ask her?) :)

clean the toilet first with a diluted bleach mix.

Gross....but okay.....use lysol spray....or diluted bleach first. Mostly on the flushing handle and on the sink handles (assuming he washed his hands!! Tee Hee). You get most germs from your hands not your bum! ;) FYI: Whatever solution you used needs to stay on the surface for a minimum of 30 seconds to kill the germs!

HAHAHA, Of course it's safe. If you're still worried about it, wipe the toilet seat with disinfectant.
Vote for me.

Well, we have three days left to answer. Think you can hold it that long? Just go, man! You won't get sick that way.
