And this is why I think it is gross that you suck the "juice" out of your toothbrush.....

From a germ article I read: “In removing plaque and other soft debris from the teeth, toothbrushes become contaminated with bacteria, blood, saliva, oral debris, and toothpaste. Because of this contamination, a common recommendation is to rinse one’s toothbrush thoroughly with tap water following brushing. Limited research has suggested that even after being rinsed visibly clean, toothbrushes can remain contaminated with potentially pathogenic organisms.

this blog post is completely irrelevant and i encourage all that read to disregard it as it really doesnt matter, no one is going to die from not tapping the toothbrush, biting fingernails, picking their nose, not washing their hands after going to the bathroom or anything else of the sort...
