I think sometimes we let the media scare us needlessly and we become a bit paranoid. It's a wonder all us baby boomers are alive when our mothers drank and smoked during pregnancy, we rode bikes and skied without helmets, sat on Dad's lap pretending we were driving, rode in the back of open pickup trucks, stepped in dog poop with bare feet, didn't wear seatbelts....Yes we now know how dangerous all those things are but a toothbrush on the counter near the toilet? Please.
