While the largest droplets settled onto surfaces within seconds, the smaller and therefore lighter particles remained suspended in the air for several minutes. These smaller particles were less than 5 micrometres (0.0002 of an inch or one-millionth of a metre) in diameter. Smaller particles not only float in the air for longer, but can escape nose hairs and reach deeper into the lungs. Previous studies have shown that the virus that causes Covid (SARS-CoV-2) is present in human waste, although there's not yet conclusive evidence that it spreads efficiently through toilet aerosols. vid in link [link to www.dailymail.co.uk (secure)] and many keep toothbrush in the open right beside the toilet Mythbusters did this years ago [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] This! And this is why I've closed the lid ever since watching that air for the first time. |

I keep my towels in air tight plastic drawers anyway just because I don't want dust on them before I even use them. Dust will form in a half day. Let alone any other bathroom particles. And my toothbrushes are also kept air tight. I dry it off with a paper towel after using and no paper gets on my toothbrush, so there's that. Oh, and my paper towels in my bathroom are also in an air tight container. I sound like a germophobe, but I'm only picky about this stuff. Everything else I am average about. |
