Millions of Bacteria Live On Your Toothbrush. Kill 99.9% In Just 3 Minutes With This Device.
Sponsored by Bril
Imagine you had superhuman vision. What would you see?
Your x-ray sight would be handy when you need to find that stud in the wall. Telescopic vision would allow you to literally see your house from an airline window. But the ability to see at the microscopic level might be the most life-changing because of the repulsive reality you'd observe.
We all know that some of the most germ infested items include:
- Smartphones
- Cash
- Doorknobs and light switches
- Kitches sponges
...but you might be surprised to find that your toothbrush is swarming with over 100 million bacteria1 and among the most contaminated objects in your home2.
Your bathroom is disgusting
Have you ever heard of a toilet plume?
Anytime you flush, the contents of the bowl can become airborne, able to disperse throughout the room. Those aerosol droplets can travel several feet before coming to rest on whatever is nearby, like your counter, your faucet, and your toothbrush. That lid isn't just for converting your toilet into a chair.
Once there, they can multiply like crazy. All bacteria needs is a warm and moist environment, so imagine what is happening on the head of your toothbrush the next time you step out of the shower and the mirror is fogged up.
Your toothbrush may be making you sick
The global pandemic made a lot of us more aware of how easy it is for viruses to get inside our bodies.
It is now common knowledge that microscopic particles can travel impressive distances through the air and they can survive for days or even weeks when they land on the right surface.
To combat the virus, we employed 20 second hand washings, social distancing, and gallons of hand sanitizer.
We also learned the disturbing reality of how often people touch their faces. Like Luke Skywalker shooting at the Death Star's exhaust port, bacteria and viruses only have to make it to the nose or mouth and they can wreck havoc.
Preventing entry was part of the rationale behind constant hand sanitizing, as well as for masking up. But what if germs had a way to smuggle themselves into your body that you never thought to be a danger?
"Bacteria which attach to, accumulate, and survive on toothbrushes may be transmitted to the individual causing disease."
According to a survey of peer-reviewed research published by the National Institute of Health (NIH)3, toothbrushes can function as a "reservoir for microorganisms" and contamination "increases with repeated use."
The authors go on to say that contamination can come from the environment, your hands, storage containers, airborne contaminants, and even germs already in the mouth.
They go on to note the need for standardized guidelines to prevent toothbrush contamination in a hospital setting in order to minimize the risk of infections from pathogenic microorganisms.
Given how seriously the healthcare industry is looking at toothbrushes as a vehicle for infection, isn't it time to consider the cleanliness of your primary oral care tool?
If your toothbrush had over 100 million germs on it, from Staph to Streptococcus, E. Coli to fecal bacteria, would you want to put it in your mouth twice a day?
How to kill germs
There are lots of ways that people try to kill bacteria, germs, and viruses, each with their own levels or risk and effectiveness. Some of the most common include:
- Bleach
- Alcohol
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Heat
- Ammonia
- Vinegar
- Tea tree oil
Understandably, you may not want to make dunking your toothbrush in a cup of bleach part of your daily routine. And putting a kettle on just to pour boiling water over your brush will quickly become a loathsome chore.
So why not look to the professionals and see how places get cleaned that absolutely must be kept sterile?
When it comes to such facilities, it doesn't get more advanced than the International Space Station. Up in orbit, it's imperative that they maintain a clean cabin because help is a long ways away if there's an outbreak. With such a small space for several people to live in, contamination can spread quickly.
Back on Earth, hospitals also need to maintain a sterile environment.
Both facilities rely on the same method to eradicate contaminants: UV-C Light
If you've ever had a sunburn, you know how painful the Sun's ultraviolet rays can be. For viruses and bacteria, those UV rays are fatal4.
So how do hospitals and the ISS utilize UV rays to kill germs? Do they just open all of the blinds and let the sunlight pour in? In a way, yes. After all, "sunlight is the best disinfectant."
It turns out that we can recreate the Sun's bacteria killing UV-C rays with some relatively recent technological advancements.
Hospital crews and astronauts alike rely on UV-C light emitting devices to keep their facilities sterile because it is the best method to ensure they kill 99.9% of the viruses hit with the rays.
