I'm wondering how long stomach virus vomit germs will survive on a toothbrush for? how many days should i wait to kiss someone after they recover?

Tooth Brush Retired!: Good day; Sounds like a very good time to retire your old tooth brush. Not so different than accidentally dropping the brush in the toilet. If your friend is fastidious with their home care and uses a potent mouthwash like Crest Pro- Health or even Listerine. Once their stomach has "quieted down! Kiss and kiss!!
