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

It has that air of authenticity, but the mythbusters went to town on this
one. Try as they might, they had to admit defeat. Flying bacteria didn't
manage any mass migration onto their array of toothbrushes.

Myth busted!! Pity though, as it's a goodun.


All it actually shows is that the mythbusters were unable to do it, not that
it doesn't happen.
They often do things wrong.

Take the suspension bridge they built for the marching soldiers myth.
It wasn't a suspension bridge at all.
It was supported by the deck as the "support" wires weren't anchored to the
ground so offered no support at all.
