Even after you wash something, most anti-bacterial soaps /sanitizers claim to kill 99.99% of germs. So that leaves about 1 part per ten thousand... which is a over a thousand times more than necessary for the average person's nose to smell.

Which is enough to catch the noro virus from vomit or faecal particles.
So can you catch it from some douche farting?
If you smelt it you caught it.
