I know this sounds a bit far-fetched, but recent studies show that a very significant percentage of us are exposing ourselves to some pretty nasty bacteria...among them is e.coli. How does this happen?
Each time we flush solids (or liquids, for that matter) and do not lower the toilet seat cover, air borne particles are carried on the swirling water into the air. Many of us store our toothbrush either on the tank covers or on shelves that are located directly above the commode. This is how the transfer of bacteria takes place.
I know some of you must be thinking, "Oh, great, now not only do I have to remind the males in the house to put down the seat when they are finished, but to put down the seat cover before they flush!" May I suggest that describing this problem in graphic detail might help to "facilitate compliance." Good luck.
