Brazilian model Celso Santebañes, who spent £30k n surgeries to look like a “Human Ken Doll” died Thursday after battling cancer of the blood. He was 20 years old. Diagnosed with the rare form of blood cancer last year, Santebañes underwent a series of chemotherapy treatments starting in December of 2014. He died at 4:30pm at the Federal University of Uberlândia Clinical Hospital, where he was undergoing his latest round of chemotherapy.

In May, he  reflected on his earlier pursuit of physical perfection during an interview he said....
“Everyone who wants to be pretty, who wants to be perfect, to call attention to themselves, to supplant this lack of... of love, perhaps,” he said, adding that he if he survived, he wouldn’t do any more surgeries. “I wouldn’t do any more, what’s done is done.”

Health dangers of keeping your toothbrush in a shared bathroom

According to a new study, there is a 60 per cent chance your toothbrush is covered in poo if it is left in the bathroom.
And if you share a bathroom, around 80 per cent of that faeces will belong to another person.

There is a 60 per cent chance your toothbrush is covered in poo, regardless of how well you clean it. If you share a bathroom, around 80 per cent of that faeces will belong to another person. The research looked at the spread of something known as fecal coliforms (right), which bacteria found in human faeces
The research looked at the spread of 'faecal coliforms' in shared bathrooms at the Quinnipiac University in Connecticut.
Faecal coliforms are rod-shaped bacteria found in human faeces and can spread onto a toothbrush through the air when the toilet is flushed.


'The main concern is not with the presence of your own faecal matter on your toothbrush,' said Lauren Aber, a student involved in the study at Quinnipiac University.
'It is when a toothbrush is contaminated with faecal matter from someone else, which contains bacteria, viruses or parasites that are not part of your normal flora.
Fecal coliforms are rod-shaped bacteria found in human faeces and can spread onto a toothbrush through the air through actions such as flushing the toilet. All toothbrushes in the study were collected from participants using communal bathrooms, with an average of 9.4 occupants per bathroom
During the study, at least 60 per cent of the toothbrushes were contaminated with faeces regardless of the storage. 'Using a toothbrush cover doesn't protect a toothbrush from bacterial growth, but actually creates an environment where bacteria are better suited to grow by keeping the bristles moist and not allowing the head of the toothbrush to dry out between uses,' said Aber.
There were no differences seen with the effectiveness of the decontamination methods between cold water, hot water or rinsing with mouthwash.
And all of the toothbrushes regularly rinsed with mouthwash had growth indicating faecal contamination.
There is an 80 per cent chance that the faecal coliforms seen on the toothbrushes came from another person using the same bathroom.
 
Previous studies have found your toothbrush can also harbour dangerous bacteria such as staphylococcus aurous, which is associated with MRSA infection.
It may also contain the herpes virus and candida, the fungus responsible for yeast infections and diaper rash.
