Is the mold in a toilet bowl dangerous?

Answer 1

Everything inside a toilet bowl is dangerous, and potentially poisonous! Do you remember reading or hearing about E-Coli on the news or in the newspaper? E-Coli is a deadly bacteria that comes from feces of humans. That means it comes from a person's doo-doo. When they sit on the toilet and make number 2, they have just possibly contaminated the toilet with the deadly E-Coli bacteria. If you have a busy toilet, you should clean it AT LEAST every week with a good anti-bacterial cleanser like PineSol, or Lysol. I use PineSol, and carefully scrub the inside of the toilet bowl with a good brush. Scrub it all over, 100% of the area inside and outside the toilet. The seat needs a good cleaning, and the sides--especially with boys using it! People are not careful enough about their personal bathrooms, and spread germs to everyone in the family. If your family tends to have frequent colds, or flu, or sore throats, you should think about the way you do or do not clean your bathroom. The toilet, especially, and the sink--where you swap germs with your toothbrushes. And don't forget the shower! Family members contaminate the shower floor with athlete's foot! It's hard to keep small children free of contamination. But, if you are conscientious about cleaning your bathroom and kitchen very carefully at least once a week, you will have done the most important thing you can do to help keep your family protected from germs and bacteria. I say the kitchen, because poorly washed dishes, glasses, and tableware spread some pretty potent germs and bacteria, too. Most sore throats and colds come from there. And train your children not to drink from the same glass or drink bottle as other people!
