The Worst Places for Your Health

I came across this article yesterday and it has already changed my day-to-day habits. One of the grossest parts of the article was about where you keep your toothbrush. I, like many people, keep my toothbrush in a cup by the sink...where it has been sprayed by toilet water my whole life.

When you flush a toilet, the spray can travel upwards of 6 feet. So even if you think that your sink is far from the toilet, you’re still not safe. The best solution is to keep your toothbrush in a cabinet or shut the lid of your toilet before flushing.

I’ve already got a new toothbrush and have been shutting the lid to my toilet ever since.
Another intesting tip was to not put your purse on the kitchen counters. I am totally guilty of this; but think about what your purse touches throughout the day. You put it on the ground, in a grocery cart, it brushes up against numerous unsavory things. And then people put it on the counter and let it silently gross up the counter.

Have a good, clean weekend, y’all.

I just like to look out for my friends. I may not've been able to catch you as you fell down the stairs, but my god, I will make sure you don't clean your teeth with a pee-brush.
