Poop on Your Toothbrush?

A long time ago I remember seeing an episode on the TV show, Bones about fecal matter being sprayed onto your toothbrush when you flushed your toilet.  It was called the Aerosol Effect.  This is a link to a site that explains it. And here's another link from a site called Serendip.

You know, there are so many things we do that they keep finding out is not good.  Wine was first good and then bad.  Drinking bottled water was once good, but now the plastic leaching toxins in the water is bad.  I thought shampooing my hair everyday was good, but now I find out the chemicals in the shampoo are not great.  Mammograms are up for question.  Antibiotics were once good, but..... well you get the idea. 

We always want our husbands to put the toilet seat down after they use it.  Now we want them to put the cover down also before they flush.  Art says he ALWAYS does.  I'm glad because it's MY bath towel that hangs right next to it. 

Then again, if we protect ourselves from every germ floating around everywhere, could we be causing more of a problem in the long run?  Maybe a little dirt or fecal matter isn't entirely bad.

Heck if I know.
