So tonight I was gonna brush my teeth but noticed that my electric toothbrush was sticky.



You can see here the sheen seeping out. It also smelled like a combination between bread yeast and socks.

After popping the cap off the smell became 10x as powerful and I noticed this gunk underneath.



Was really gross so I brushed my teeth and tossed out the cap then scrubbed clean the buzzing part with dish soap. What kind of bacteria/mold is this? Is it harmful?

somebody nut on your toothbrush dude.

seems like this

next time dont wipe your ass with a toothbrush

Please deep clean that right now

Take out the batteries and throw it in the bin, that's the kind of mould that thrives on wet-spaces you dont need to introduce to your mouth.

Probably a mix of multiple species of microbes.

Yeah, this. Make a habit of removing the head of the brush to prevent and make sure the plastic is more or less dry after you rinse it. Mold thrives in enclosed, moist spaces.

Whether or not you clean it or toss it depends on how squeamish you are. But if you clean it well, you're probably fine. Mold spores are everywhere (you're breathing them in right now), so you won't need to worry about mold growing in your mouth since your body is built to prevent that. Just make sure you clean the brush well with vinegar, soap, or alcohol first, to clean off the mold and any byproducts that might make you sick if ingested. Maybe replace the head too.

I didn't know you had to rinse the toothbrush after each use I just put it back on the charger.

Thanks for the tips guys!

You are correct. I am assuming that Swept does not have crippling HIV.

assume he has double the aids.

Swept you've made quite a few posts here this year pertaining to your health and I can't help but think this sort of thing may be related. I also notice you described using the toothbrush before throwing away the head and cleaning the base which seems like it might've been a mistake.

why are you like this

thanks for this thread i just cleaned all the gunk out of my electric toothbrush and replaced the brush

Yes, daddy

Use a manual toothbrush like a man, electric toothbrushes are just moldy vibrators

I've always kinda liked electric over manual. I'd use a manual but, I wouldn't be ecstatic about it. Easier to not apply too much pressure with an electric too

are we talking about toothbrushes still

Electric makes my teeth vibrate and I don’t like that

Post your toothbrush don't be shy

this is easily the most vile thing i've seen from tgstation

the nails we can see seem to be taken care of so to my way of thinking at least it's weird the toothbrush is in such a state

I have really deep cuticles so even when I cut my nails they still seem long. I also play the piano a lot so keeping short fingernails is just a habit.
