A bristle is a stiff hair or feather. Also used are synthetic materials such as nylon in items such as brooms and sweepers. Bristles are often used to make brushes for cleaning uses, as they are strongly abrasive; common examples include the toothbrush and toilet brush. The bristle brush is a common household cleaning tool, often used to remove dirt or grease from pots and pans.

Variations of bristle in the animal kingdom

Bristles are found on pig breeds instead of fur on most mammals. Because the density is less than with fur, pigs are vulnerable to sunburn. One breed, the Tamworth Pig is endowed with a very dense bristle structure such that sunburn damage to skin is minimized. Animals named for their bristles include bristlebirds, the Bristle-thighed Curlew, the Bristle-spined Porcupine, and the Trinity bristle snail. Bristles also anchor worms to the soil to help the worm move.

A. Silver has long been used as a disinfectant. Pioneer folks would drop a silver dollar in a jug of milk to keep it fresh longer. Silver is the active ingredient in the "silver drops" put in babies eyes, and in the burn ointment, "Silver Sulfadiazine". It's used to purify the water on the space station. Dr. Robert Becker, in his book "The Body Electric", tells how he discovered that there was never any bacterial infection near the silver electrodes he used in his experiments on animals, and he used silver in various forms with great success in treating bone infections, which are very hard to treat due to lack of blood supply. Sounds like you have a pretty nice toothbrush there...I suspect the silver kills any bacteria on it, and perhaps… [cont.]

A. It could be time to get a new brush. Especially if it is a cheaper brush, unfortunatly like most things, you need to pay for good quality. MAC is my preferance, sephora makes decent brushes and some cheaper good brushes, try eco tools. Also if you are using good brushes, try buying actual brush clenser. MAC sells brush clenser for about 10$ that works really well:)
