That said, the toilet is only the second germiest place in the house. The kitchen sink is first. Anything that hits the sink needs to be washed before use, both utensils and food. And never ever leave a sponge in the sink!

When I was getting ready to leave this morning, Arwen cat was my valet. Or something. She needed to closely inspect the swirling process of the toilet. So the toilet lid was left open while she took notes and I brushed my teeth. This led to me doing something I know for sure I've never done before; drunk, sober, hung over like 9 mudder fuggers, terrified due to the scope of a NATO
wide alert, kid missing the bus, dog fight in the hall, horses procreating in the driveway (when you have 3000 pounds of procreating mammal in your driveway, you may go get another cup of coffee, cause you ain't gonna win pardner! Oh! And a bear that was sharing my bush for morning ablutions. And of course neglected to inform me that the bush was taken, thank you very much. Anyway, during all of these scenarios, my tooth brush ended up in odd positions and places. I ALWAYS WENT BACK FOR IT! Never did I leave a fallen toothbrush to suffer alone. It was always recovered and dealt with like you would want to deal with something you had been so personal with.
Today, today was different. I was up at 2:30 to leave at 4:30. Completely unacceptable. I had packed the night before, and I rarely need more than 30/45 minutes to roll.
was it Arwen competing for counter space? Who knows? I smacked that special spot on your wrist that makes a fairly significant jerk/twinge. Alas, tooth brush ended in the toilet. No special service, no buying the new one to have the older one pass on words of wisdom. No sirree that brush was on the first trash heap outta town.
All Hale! Former brush has been disgraced, all heed the new brush!
Ok, so I've been up for close to 22 hours. Out of practice.

A lot more common than botulism which gets wider publicity.
Another thing sort of related is that they are linking the high rise of food allergies and gluten intolerance to antibacterial sprays and soaps as well as antibiotics. Apparently they kill of the good bacteria which enables us to safely ingest and digest certain foods.
