Toothbrush smelled strongly of poop.
I started to brush my teeth and put my toothbrush in my mouth. While brushing I noticed that my toothbrush smelled strongly like poop. I have a roommate who is mad at me. I suspect she is ill because she never eats oil and overuses supercleanse. Should I be worried about catching hepetitis or other diseases? What can be done now?
