We don't need to drink the water from a toilet to get exposed to the life it harbours. We get exposed to it every time we sit on a toilet. Thankfully, our skin and it's native microbes are pretty good at handling most pathogens, but shit happens every now and again ; )

Of course ice consuming people are far more likely to get an upset stomach from a poorly tended ice machine than from a toilet, but the toilet itself still remains a potential cause of harm, and in such a case, it may prove a more serious harm than from the ice machine. So, throwing out the shoe is going overboard, washing it in a washing machine is sensible.

Besides, drinking liquid close to 0°C isn't very good for us anyway, so why bother with the ice?
