Electric toothbrush and vision...

I’d like to know why it is that when I am brushing my teeth with an electric toothbrush (that rotates, not sonic) and look at TV or a monitor, the screen appears to move and distort. Stop brushing and all appears normal. There’s probably a reasonable explanation…

Good question! Uncle Cecil’s evil nephew, The Answer Geek, tackled this extremely similar topic on another site.
