E. Coli
Effects
- Enemies that touch Isaac are transformed into poop.

Notes

- Poop created by this item is not grid-aligned, and flashes red when hit, similar to damaging monsters.
- (Added in Afterbirth †) Poops produced by E. Coli crumble upon being attacked, identically to regular poops.
- If you touch the middle section of a Grub with E. Coli, it will then split and become two heads (rather than destroying and spawning Maggots).
- Mullibooms can be turned into poop without taking damage.
- The poops vanish if the room is left and then returned to.
- (Added in Afterbirth / Removed in Repentance) Poops created by E. Coli do not heal Isaac when he has the Oh Crap transformation.

Synergies
- Isaac's Heart: Isaac can turn enemies into poop without taking damage.
- Midas' Touch: Enemies touched are turned into Golden Poop.
- Unicorn Stump: Provides invincibility during which enemies can be touched.
- (Added in Repentance) Lodestone: If an enemy is hit by a lodestone tear perfectly simultaneously with it being turned into poop, the resulting poop will be tinted black and have a lodestone aura that sucks in enemies. This poop will return to normal after a few seconds.

Interactions
