absolutely D. :) But only if I'm child #1, the observer, who's toothbrush remains untainted, of course!

D- just run it under really hot water to rinse
It's gonna take a lot more than a used toothbrush to cause issues. :)

Sheesh . . . I don't think we have any toothbrushes that haven't been in the wrong person's mouth!! (so my answer is "D", too)
