The bathroom is always pictured in our eyes as a hygienic, sterile and clean place, where we shed our everyday dirt and come out clean. We all also keep our toothbrush next to the sink, usually in a vessel or designer fixture, but according to experts we are making a terrible mistake.

According to experts quoted on the "LadBible" news site, the reason for this is that if your toilet is also in the bathroom and near the sink, every time you flush the toilet, you are actually creating a "poop fountain". Yes yes, it's as disgusting as it sounds. Every time the toilet flushes, it "showers" the area around it with particles of urine, feces and all the good things that lie at the bottom of the toilet.
Meaning: Tiny drops of human waste will land on your toothbrush, which you put in your mouth at least twice a day.
Experts recommend closing the toilet seat while flushing to prevent the "invisible fecal spring" from splashing everywhere, or simply put your toothbrush somewhere safe. Another option: get a cover for the brush, which is usually made of plastic and can be obtained in the pharmacy chains.
