Can there be bacteria when brushing your teeth against the toilet?

Yes, there are many bacteria on the toilet.

Every time you flush the toilet, the seemingly swift water swept away dirt and bacteria, but a study in Shanghai pointed out that the number of bacteria on the inner wall of the toilet just flushed was still as high as 654.38+ 10,000.

Dr Phillip Erno of new york University pointed out that if the toilet lid is flushed, the instantaneous cyclone in the toilet can bring germs and microorganisms into the air up to 6 meters high and keep them suspended in the air for several hours. These invisible water droplets will carry germs and land on the surrounding walls and objects. Compared with the inner wall of the toilet, the toilet seat and the outer side of the toilet seat are the gathering places of bacteria.

Experts from Fudan University School of Public Health once pointed out that 32% of toilets were infected with Shigella flexneri, and one of them survived for 17 days on the toilet seat, and the bacteria attached to the toilet seat were several times that on the inside of the toilet seat. Especially the toilet seat with cloth cover, the number of bacteria may be dozens of times that inside the toilet. The bacteria on the toilet seat are equally amazing. American scientists have conducted bacteria tests on household items, and found that there are 295 bacteria on the outside of the toilet seat every square inch (6.452 square centimeters). The number of bacteria in the condom used for 2-3 days will reach 200,000, and the number of bacteria in the condom used for 7- 10 days will reach 30 million. Another research report also pointed out that 65438+ billion polio viruses were put into the toilet, and 3000 viruses were detected in the toilet seat. At the same time, many people like to put a flannel gasket on the toilet in winter, which will make them feel warmer. In fact, it is easier to adsorb and retain pollutants. After reading these figures, I was really shocked and scared. It will be creepy to think about it afterwards! So how can we solve this problem?

The best way is to wipe it with diluted household disinfectant every one or two days. As for the cloth gasket, it is best not to use it. If you must use it, you should always clean and disinfect it. If you have the conditions, you might as well change to a toilet with antibacterial function and splash-proof design.
