I first heard about this during hazmat class at the ER. The instructor was a real stickler about using "natural" cleaning products as opposed to stuff with hazardous fumes and chemicals. But when he mentioned this, no one wanted to give up on using bleach.

Up to 20 feet away???? Oh my!!
I've heard about this but I thought I was safe by keeping my toothbrush way on the other side of the bathroom.
Ewwwwwwww :17:

Thank God for our immune systems, strong toothpaste, and our poor eyesight compared to many other animals.

...and here I thought it was because I changed toothpaste. Guess I better rearrange the bathroom again.

New names for toothpastes that never made it to market:
1) Crapgate
2) Defi-Mint
Any others one can come up with?

Our toothbrushes are covered and on the opposite side of the bathroom from the toilet, but it really makes you think. I would say the minute particles are not that dangerous, but??????IT IS JUST PLAIN GROSS!!!
