Default Is tooth brushing water from hot tap safer than from cold tap?

Indeed. I would not be happy to clean my teeth with water from *any*
tap which wasn't directly mains fed. If my hand-basins had cold
supplies from attic tanks (which they don't!), I'd use a jug of

water
from a mains supply - such as the kitchen tap, or even bottled

water.

I'm wondering how on earth I'm still alive.


Ditto, decades of cleaning my teeth with water from cold tanks and
I'm still alive. If some of the posters are to be believed I must be
amazingly healthy to fight off all the bugs:-)

A sense of proportion is necessary. Ten people a day are killed on
UK roads.


Exactly. For some reason we tolerate loss of life on roads more than
pretty well anything else I can think of.
