Fair enough. But if any poo particles are getting on my toothbrush when the lid is down, more will be getting on when the lid is open. Besides, I also keep the toothbrush in a cabinet so double protection.
That was part of the test, there was essentially no difference. The particles that can become airborne are small Enough they floating around everywhere regardless of how they get out. The real problem is how huge the gap is between the seat and rim. Needs a rubber skirt or something
well, they had some toothbrushes as a control which were not even in the bathroom, and they ended up with similar levels of fecal bacteria, meaning that these things are just everywhere. Only solution is to live in a sterile plastic bubble.
