Close the Lid before you Flush?
Otod here, people! Its simple. flick the lid closed….then flush. When flushing a toilet, little itty bitty particles get thrown into the air as far as 20 feet, and more with some violent flushing toilets.
How do we stop it? Butt plugs. or….
Close the Lid!
Or get fecal matter on your toothbrush. Dude….gross.
- Each toilet flush creates an unseen mist that can travel up to 20 feet in all directions.
- Toilet water can contain fecal matter, E. coli, streptococcus, staphylococcus, klebsiella oxytoca, enterobacter, flu and cold viruses etc.
- Micro-droplets land on everything within the flush zone: toothbrushes, drinking cups, bath toys etc. The mist can stay in the air for 2 hours, and can be inhaled. Pathogens can live on surfaces for a week.

Ok, first off…. yes. streptococcus is a real word.
Second. Here is a clip from Dr Oz discussing this very fact where he reveals the truth about toilet flushing and the spread of harmful germs.
And here is a written answer from Dr. Oz:
To boot, all bathroom surfaces should be cleaned regularly. These include the door handle, faucets, toilet, sink, floor and shower/bathtub. Clean inside the toilet at least twice a week with a disinfectant ordisinfectant toilet-bowl cleaner. Clean the toilet and sink with separate cloths to avoid transferring germs.
The Late and Great George Carlin does a funny bit about our fear of germs….. Its Funny….
But you should still close that lid!
“Fear of germs?” NSFW
Bottom Line…..

Its really simple to do. “Poop…Lid….Flush”. “Pee…..Lid….Flush”.
So… throw away your toothbrush, wash those bathroom towels and remember… your dog will also stop drinking from the toilet.

Gross Man….. but so true

George Carlin Does a Hiliarious bit on the up or down toilet seat debate! You MUST find it! the answer is , leave it as you left it . and he explains it so beautifully that this is the most fair solution. It would go perfect with this article.
I’m SO glad I’ve kept the lid down for decades!! I even painted on the inside of the lid “Lid Down Please” to remind folks. A few issues I have with leaving it open are the risks of falling in in the dark, the fact that the open bowl is plain ugly and, God forbid, dropping something in there. Anyone see that Sienfeld episode with the toothbrush?

even if you close lid your visitors may not – half fill a coffee mug with antiseptic mouthwash and soak brushes when not in use
