lets put it this way: when you flush the toilet thousands of pee particles are sprung up into the air by the flushing of the toilet.. most people keep things like THEIR TOOTHBRUSHES in said bathroom.. their point is that when you flush with the lid up you are essentially spraying pee all over your toothbrush. They have a point and I always try to put the lid down before I flush now.
Has this been forensically proven? Dye-tel and a UV source isn't that expensive.
Yea, Mythbusters tested this, and other bathroom myths. They set up dozens of toothbrushes all over the bathroom, and control toothbrushes in another room. They found after 30 days that ALL toothbrushes were contaminated with e coli, even the control brushes.
So I guess no matter where you put your toothbrush, it's gonna get contaminated.
