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

Especially if it's stored near a toilet.


Why?
Do "germs" in the toilet multiply and gro to the point they can leap out
of the bowl and go off on a toothbrush hunt?


Apparently when a washdown WC is flushed, lots of water droplets
rise into the air, and float about, covering everything in *germs*,
yuck, so if you don't want to inhale them, hold your breath before
you pull the plug, then run out very fast as soon as you've done
so. It's really quite odd that these droplets don't really seem to
cause any problem... are the "warnings" paranoia?
