Why flushing could make you sick

Good morning friends,

You might never look at your bathroom the same way again.

Because every time you flush the toilet with the lid open… you’re spraying microscopic waste particles into the air.

Let me explain.

The toilet plume nobody talks about
In a recent lab test, researchers added fluorescent dye to a toilet tank.

Under black light, they tracked what happened after a single flush with the lid open.

The result?

That flush sent particles flying across the bathroom—onto:

• Countertops
• Towels
• Your toothbrush
• Even the walls and floor

This invisible spray is called a toilet plume, and it’s packed with bacteria and viruses—including E. coli and other nasties.

One simple habit to protect your health

The solution?

Close the lid before you flush.

That small action can drastically reduce the number of airborne contaminants.

And in a space where you clean your body and brush your teeth, that matters more than you think.

Bonus tips:
• Store your toothbrush in a drawer or cabinet
• Wash towels frequently and keep them away from the toilet
• Use natural disinfectants on surfaces regularly

Because sometimes it’s the smallest habits that make the biggest difference.
