No. No.
In fact, putting a wet toothbrush in an unventilated space so it can't dry out will cause more problems than letting it dry out in the air.

No, it is not unsanitary as long as you keep your bathroom relatively clean. Just be sure to rinse your toothbrush very well after brushing to remove any residue from the paste and keep your toothbrush holder clean.
And no, fecal matter doesn't float in the air... only the odor.

A tooth brush should be able to dry out so as not to promote growth of mold and bacteria on the wet bristles; should they be placed in an anaerobic environment this would not do.
Fecal matter does float around places where people or animals leave fecal matter uncovered or not flushed, not mixed with some liquid or paste which can neutralize the odor, such as that blue liquid placed in porta-potties.
Mexico City has a problem having among the contaminants discernable amounts of caca in the air. Hence why it is important to scoop the poop of your mutt or cat.

You should keep your toothbrush covered. It is true that micro bacteria and gases from urine and fecal matter will float in the air, and it will do so for about 5 to 6 hours. ALWAYS flush with the toilet seat put down!!!

Yes fecal matter can and does float in the air. Your best bet is to keep the toilet lid closed when flushing, I heard this on a TV program.

Fecal matter is everywhere, not just your bathroom. Leaving your toothbrush in your bathroom is just as unsanitary as leaving it in your kitchen. There is an episode of Mythbusters that has this question answered. I suggest you watch it.

yes, so i've heard...you can always cover the toothbrush head w/those little plastic snap-on covers or put it away in a drawer if you're concerned about microscopic airborne fecal matter...closing the lid of the toilet before you flush is also a good idea.

i myself do no longer decide to understand. i understand that micro organism spreads around once you flush the rest room... so I close the precise earlier flushing.. which permits out slightly. yet i'm extraordinarily valuable fecal count is flying around. per danger I would desire to placed my toothbrush interior the front room!!! LOL!!

I heard a report on this last month. They did say test showed trace amounts. I guess it would also depend on how close your brush is to the toilet.
