Disease Causing Bacteria Are All Around Us – Even On Our Toothbrushes
Millions of harmful germs and bacteria live on the surfaces we touch during the course of our everyday life-they are all around us. Germs can be easily transmitted between people. Millions of germs and bacteria await us at work and our kids at school. We can never keep these germs just to ourselves. They will eventually spread to every member of the family. Bad germs can’t be seen, smelled or tasted, but they are there, waiting to multiply in numbers large enough to trigger a major outbreak of illness. The bacteria that can cause these diseases can, and do, take up residence on the things we touch and use daily. These germs then come with us to our homes where we make them comfortable on, among other things, our toothbrushes! Studies have shown that contaminated toothbrushes not only contain but also transmit both viruses and bacteria.
