An American man claims he contracted a superbug in his penis from a bidet — and it left him urinating blood for days.

Molson Hart took to X to share his experience of what he initially thought was a cold which later turned out to be an E.coli infection in his genitals.

Describing his experience in graphic detail, he claimed doctors told him the infection — which comes from faeces — was resistant to standard antibiotics.

Mr Hart, who runs an educational toy company, pinned the infection on a bidet splashing e.coli contaminated water onto his penis.

However, medics and other social media users were sceptical and suggested a different, more risqué, way E.coli could have entered Mr Hart’s urethra.
