I thought that in light of the fact that we're not the only sick family out there, I would share one of my mom's stay healthy tricks. Listerine mouth wash is the trick behind this one. (We like vanilla mint.) Just fill a cup about 2", and stick your tooth brushes in (head down) over night. Make sure you rinse it well to get rid of the nasty taste, but otherwise you're good to go! It might not kill everything, but it does really help cut down on the germs left on your toothbrush, so your odds of re-infecting yourself are allot smaller!
