lol...guess I answered my own question, I'll just change the toothbrush on the base if and when I clear the virus...sounds okay to me...I'll just clean it on the bidet!:)

If you clear the virus, sounds like the toothbrush would be good luck, I wouldn't switch, just keep using the same toothbrush, and swish it around in the toilet water once in a while for extra luck.... (sorry)

wow, I use that Triumph electric toothbrush, with the digital readout...someone uses that on a toilet I'll have to be taken away in handcuffs....speaking of which (we got to get some use out of these meaningless threads, sorry jug) what do I do about that? (good people who have gone before me?) if you are using a kind of expensive electric toothbrush, and you clear the virus? do I have to switch to a manual? And keep on changing the manual? when do you change? puzzled and wondering....thanks for any and all responses....

You should be fine. It probably wouldn’t hurt to get  Hep A&B vaccinations. How did the toilet come out?
