This tiny tears are permeable to sexually transmitted diseases and sexually transmitted infections. In other words, one can get infected through them quickly and easily with deadly diseases.

Diseases like HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, herpes, syphilis and hepatitis B can easily be contacted through this tiny microscopic holes opened up by the teeths of the toothbrush.
