1. Toothbrushes
If there’s one thing that everyone keeps in the bathroom, it’s a toothbrush. But scientists say you should do so at your own risk, especially if you’ve got roommates. Researchers from Quinnipiac University found fecal matter on 60 percent of toothbrushes kept in shared bathrooms, regardless of how the toothbrush was stored. And flushing with the toilet lid down won’t necessarily save you from expelled bacteria.

As ridiculous as it sounds, it’s best to let your brush air-dry in another room of the house.
