I have heard that bacteria can travel 10 feet when the toilet is flushed.
didn't i hear of a study that proved that?

I heard about a recent study on the radio that pretty much debunked
that. Tooothbrushes were left in various rooms in the house and the
ones in the bathroom were among the cleanest.

If you want to worry about bacteria, look at your kitchen sink and your
dish cloth.

If an alien were deciding on how to use the average house by doing
bacteria cultures, it would prepare food in the bathroom and crap in
your kitchen sink.
