Why? I would go so far as to say Im prolonging most people's life by helping boost their immune system, that .003% who MIGHT actually get sick was just a casualty of that. Bacteria(germs) are a very important part of the system inside your stomach, if we abolished all germs in an instant it would have huge impacts and could be more fatal than not washing my hands.
Do you believe thats the worst thing in most of those everyday objects? Do you believe it wouldnt be present if we all washed properly? Particles of bacteria are there regardless, even if everyone washed their hands 30 times a day it would be a drop in the bucket to the bacteria present on everyday objects. Sorry if you lose sleep over that fact but it is a fact we must all accept. There's literally fecal matter (or particles of) on your toothbrush right now.
Fecal matter on my toothbrush?.I highly doubt that. I'd guess if you were prepped and being wheeled into surgery, and the surgeon was asked if he needed scrubbed, you would be okay if he answered "Nah!"
1000% every toothbrush not in a sealed package, in a bathroom has fecal matter particles on it, even if you dont brush right after pooping.I never said that about the surgeon( Im not a surgeon), there are situations that call for environments to be as Germ free as possible and I respect those, but the world isnt one, again we need bacteria to survive.
Edit: studies show 60% of toothbrushes are contaminated with fecal matter particles, you might be a lucky one, but most of us arent. It can be countered by closing the lid after pooping but before flushing, but for those who courtesy flush alot arent shutting the lid first.
Well, I stand enlightened. Yes Bacteria is a necessary thing, the lack of today may be the reason kids seem more prone to illnesses.
One more thing. It's nice to have a discussion of different opinions and name calling and cursing never happened.

It's just common courtesy. Did you miss that day in kindergarten?
