All right ladies and gentlemen. Now that I have your attention you need to listen what I have to say!
Have you ever heard of "aerosol effect" in toilet's? Well, I am about to scare you a bit. A study was done at the University of Arizona by Charles Gerba in 1975 and an article was published describing bacteria and viral aerosols due to toilette flushing. When you flush the toilet and the lid is left up "droplets of toilet water are sprayed all over the place"! One way to see this is is by putting dye in the toilet and flushing it with a piece of paper over the toilet seat. This cloud can travel 6-8 feet around-up and out. Can you imagine brushing your teeth with this on your tooth brush. This bacteria can float in the air for up to 2 hours. Let's not make a habit of using dirty toothbrushes and wash your hands with soap and water for 30 seconds.
