Is your toothbrush safe from dun dun dun... Your toilet?
Have you ever wondered whether your toothbrush provides an excellent breeding ground for bacteria? In particular, bacteria from your bathroom toilet? MythBusters conducted a month-long experiment to determine just that.
The experimenters, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, placed toothbrushes throughout their experimental bathroom in various distances from the toilet. They also had a control group in the form of two toothbrushes self contained in the kitchen.
After an entire month of regular bathroom use microbiologist, Dr. Joanne Engel, performed tests on both the bathroom and two kitchen toothbrushes. To find out what Dr. Engel discovered, watch the video included below.
