self-reinfection while on TX
It is suggested that during initial phase of tx one should keep changing the tooth brush more frequently. what are other things to watch for to avoide self- reinfection. Any ideas/suggestions?
MikeS-------------$1 for a toothbrush? I guess you're not a natural boar bristle man - but that sounds cheap for plastic even if it was a decade ago-----------
The only natural boar bristle brushes that I buy are horse brushes LOL. I'm with Trin on this one, sonic care

RE:....many have had hepatitis C for a number of years without knowing it, and still have not spread it to family members...
This was a very striking observation to me, and seems to speak volumes. To me it says, take care to clean up spilled blood, but don't obsess about transmission to others. Now that I'm thinking of it, our skin IS a great barrier to multitudes of bacteria and viruses, and unless someone near me has a cut, AND I didn't take care to clean up blood, AND they happen to touch it, WITH the hand with an open wound.... seems needless to say transmission isn't likely without blood to blood contact.
IMHO...which is pretty unlearned about this topic.

lol... you guys are so funny
You know what they say Jim - talk's cheap...most of the time anyway.
You're right about the cost but sometimes you gotta either shoot big or stay home.

Your mouth seems quite expensive, not sure I can afford to talk to you :)
My electric toothbrush is a Sonic. Replacement head costs about $30 x 30 days = $900 (crown) x 6 months = $5400 (3 implants)
