[...] In 2013, researchers at Michigan State University carried out a thankless, if mildly creepy, study. They observed how more than 3,500 residents of their college town used the sink at various restrooms after they carried out their business.
Some 10 percent of people observed chose not to wash their hands at all, which is simply not an acceptable way to end a trip to the bathroom. But even the vast majority of people who tried to wash their hands managed to totally flub the proper routine. Almost a quarter of people washed their hands without soap, for instance. And only 5 percent washed their hands for at least 15 seconds or longer, which is actually lower than the 20-second minimum of handwashing recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The concern is poo, yes? OK, so you shouldn't get that on your hands anyway (toilet paper is provided) but how is that not going to contaminate the handles?
If you don't wash: your hands have poo from exactly 1 person, harmless to you
If you do wash: your hands contain poo from everybody who ever used the sink or door
There is one possible fix. After washing, leave the water running. Stay in the room until somebody else opens the door, or kick it down like a ninja.

The door handle. If it must be pulled, I tend to use the last two fingers (pinky-ring) of left hand to pull the handle open. At Disney most outdoor restrooms don't have any doors. Just a large U shaped entry way. Similarly at some airports no doors.

Use the last paper towel you dried your hands with to open the door, block it open with your foot while throwing the wadded towel for 2 points.

Or use a dry part of the paper towel, after drying your hands.
