Today, I found out that if you don't clean the inside of your sonicare toothbrush, it can grow masses of fungus. I've been brushing my teeth with a vibrating mushroom for the past 5 months. FML

Today, I realised my teeth are so stained that they look cleaner when I've not brushed them. FML
Today, I noticed mold on my toothbrush. I have no idea how long it's been like that. I told my husband about it via text, and all he could say was, "Welp... ew." We've had a mold problem for years and I'm constantly sick. I also mentioned this and he sent me a shrugging emoji. FML
Today, I found out that my old roommate used to clean her goldfish bowl with my toothbrush. We lived together for six months. FML
Today, whilst brushing my teeth, I fell asleep, poking myself in the eye with my toothbrush. FML
Today, after a childhood of battling bad teeth and cavities, I'm an overzealous brusher. I found out that I have cavities in all quadrants of my mouth from over-brushing, which will need multiple appointments to fill. FML
Today, I was in the bathroom in a rush to get ready. Without thinking, I put hand soap on my toothbrush. I didn't notice until it was already in my mouth. FML
Today, I was brushing my teeth in my bathroom. As I looked in the mirror, I spotted a zit on my forehead. Keeping my toothbrush in my mouth, I quickly leaned in towards the mirror to pop the pimple, meanwhile lodging my toothbrush down my throat. I temporarily can't talk. FML
Today, I discovered my cat frequently licks my toothbrush. FML

Not really seeing the problem here. We served vibrating mushroom at my wedding reception and it was delicious.

I love the way this one is worded. Clean out the brush, put the fungus on a pizza, and enjoy.

How the hell did you not know you were supposed to clean out the inside of that thing? Ew. YDI.

poke a q-tip into the brush head too. swivel it around then shake it hard. more fungus will fall out.

OP here. Just to clarify, it wasn't the actual BRUSH that had grown fungus. It was the portion where the magnet vibrates around. Those that own a sonicare will understand xP. @ #53: Born and Raised in Cali, bish. :P

I've always heard every 2 months, so clearly the OP has a slight lack of oral hygiene besides the fungus.
