Poop Germs? How Dirty Is Your Toothbrush?

The vast majority of toothbrushes are contaminated with fecal (yes, poop) germs! Not only is this disgusting, but it may be destructive to long-term health, and is opposite to medical knowledge combined with common sense, which tells us that if something is dirty, it should be cleaned.

Not long ago, the Discovery Channel Network aired an episode of its continuing show called “Myth Busters”. The show features two guys who investigate the truths and untruths behind urban legends. On one edition of the show, they tried to debunk the claim that toothbrushes are rife with germs, especially fecal germs. Conducting their own investigation, they tested the claim that nasty germs jump from toilets to toothbrushes by either airborne or direct contamination. They tested 24 toothbrushes and 2 controls that they themselves used for 30 days. The result? Of the 24 toothbrushes, all 24 tested positive for poop germs- that’s 100%. Even the 2 control toothbrushes they stored in the kitchen cabinet tested positive for fecal germs!

Can these germs make you sick? Absolutely.

A Professor of Risk Analysis from Harvard University School of Public Health had this to say, “It may surprise you- or sicken you- to know that if your toothbrush is stored near the toilet, the chances are great that it is covered with E.coli bacteria. Each time you flush the toilet, bacteria disperse in the air in the form of tiny particles…”. Researchers at Harvard University also believe that chronic infection, such as periodontal disease causes inflammation that often goes unnoticed by patients (internal inflammation is symptomless and is often impossible to detect).

Other research proves that acute periodontitis is a cause of low-level inflammation all over the body. Scientists at the University of Buffalo believe that the chemicals produced by the immune system's reaction to periodontal disease - the inflammatory response - spill over into the bloodstream through cuts in the gums. Then the chemicals make their way to the liver to produce proteins that inflame the arterial walls and clot the blood. Atherosclerosis and, ultimately, heart attack may result.

In spite of all the evidence, some people try and fool themselves into thinking that these things aren’t true or that they don’t apply to their toothbrushes. But make no mistake; your toothbrush is like a toilet brush, a bacterial hot-zone filled with all kinds of disgusting germs. You can be sure that allowing these germs to enter your mouth and bloodstream each day is harmful to your long-term health.

Jim Song, inventor of the Germ Terminator and author of the book “Why Your Toothbrush May Be Killing You…Slowly”, believes he has found the solution. Jim’s invention, The Germ Terminator, is the only toothbrush sanitization system that uses the proven power of steam to kill all germs, bacteria, viruses, fungi (molds and yeasts) and any other disgusting microbes that may have collected on your toothbrush. Most importantly, the Germ Terminator also provides a clean, germ free environment where your toothbrush can be safely stored until the next time you use it.
