Now this never really bothered me in the past but on hindsight I stick this thing in my mouth just like food so it would be good to know what its composed of. What really got me though is seeing toothbrushes that say whitening or antimicrobial which begs the question. Why is this whitening or antimicrobial? What the heck is in it that is doing this action??? Now that I think of it this might be more than mildly infuriating.
So… plastic? It doesn’t take anything special for plastics to shed microscopic particulates. “Fusing” microplastics is also literally how larger plastic objects are made, basically always unless there’s an actual polymerization stage involved. Thermoplastics are basically always made as plastic pellets long before they’re made in to final products.
All that is to say… plastics of any type equate to microplastics being around. The bigger question is how bio-accessible are the microplastics?
I think you might have missed the joke
Joke explained. Thanks.
That is a very jokeless joke.
