Is it possible to make yourself sick again ?
I have a head cold and usually when I get past it I throw away my toothbrush
My thinking is there are germs on it
Anyone else do this ? or am I a weirdo ?

But to my biological mind, if your body has fought the virus etc then you have the antibodies so you are like immune to it now.
It is suggested that you throw awau your toothbrush after a sickness. It's a good move.
was just going to post this.
they also sell toothbrush sanitizers, but i think that is overkill. sheesh.
i used to always throw away my toothbrush after an illness. however, for many years now i use an electric brush, and those brush heads are just far too pricey to toss out! so i just rinse it really well with very hot water.

I am myself like you somehow
If you aren't willing to replace, you'll have to boil it.
why grossed?
dishwasher can sanitize.
oh wait...you mean someone ELSe used the brush, and she was using the dishwasher to sanitize it for herself or another person, to use later? ok yea....gross. hahaha.
i'd do that with the replacement head, but it has metal in the base so i am afraid it might get ruined.
cincy - i've been doing the really hot water thing a while now, and have not reinfected myself with whatever illnesses. so i think it works. then again, as kids we never tossed our toothbrushes after illnesses as we turned out ok. hell, we didn't even replace them half as often as is now suggested! (besides, i'd be afraid to put it in boiling water, might damage the plastic) 2 brush heads cost approx $25.... :shock:

If I was sick I would tell my wife..but if not...not sure I would

never!
we also each have our own mouthwash bottles, and when i asked why he wasn't using his anymore, he said he'd been using mine (i had a different flavor). i asked why he didn't just refill his own bottle. think he might've used my toothbrush a couple times too - i was not happy! :evil:
why, i really don't know. if you think about all the things you do with your spouse, really shouldn't make that big a difference... :oops: hell, we share a soda/same straw at the movie theatre all the time...haha.

ya want me to answer that?
throwing away your toothbrush after being sick? news to me...they're my germs and i've never got sick from them...but then again, i am pretty awesome!! :P :wave:
I know its weird isn't with toothbrushes
Kiss,share drinks,eat off each others plate but toothbrushes/mouth wash are taboo

i'm totally with ya there...
some things are just not meant to be shared, and many are activities in the bathroom....tho in the bathtub is always good.
is this what constitutes "adventure" for a married man?
