Do you or anyone else have any idea how much fecal matter is already on yours and everyone else toothbrush at any given time just by the fact that it sits on your sink in the same room that you flush a toilet in....why does no one ever stop to think about this? Everything in your bathroom is contaminated with fecal matter....

Thats a good point really. Whenever you flush your toilet, its not as if everything goes straight down. Your toilet produces a light mist when you flush, and this mist covers a lot of your stuff in the bathroom with bits of fecal matter.

this was covered on mythbusters. they took a billion toothbrushes and put them all over a bathroom and monitored them for fecal coliform (sp?) bacteria. they also had 2 control brushes which were put in a completely separate room and were not used. the control brushes ended up with about the same amount as the ones in the bathroom, meaning that it's everywhere.

Would you throw it away right then?

Or wash in some way or another?
What would you consider a sufficient cleaning?

I have about 4 extra toothbrushes. I use cheap ones and chuck em after every tube. But I'm not as fastidious as when this happened in that Seinfeld episode, The Pothole.

You must have seen this one from Snopes...

"A couple from Des Moines were vacationing in Jamaica. One day, upon returning the rented condo they had been staying at, they found that they had been robbed. The thieves had made off with most of their possessions, but the couple were pleased to discover that their camera was still there. When they got home a few days later, and developed the roll of film still in the camera, there were pictures of two Black strangers in the condo in Jamaica, each with a toothbrush up their bums. The couple was horrified when they realized those were their toothbrushes."

I'd probably buy a new one after that.

Not only would I not dispose of the toothbrush I would retrieve it by plunging my face into the water as if I were bobbing for apples.

This is why I have a toothbrush at my desk at work, also in case I eat something really raunchy for lunch.
