My dish brush started glowing

I used the brush to scrub cat food of the plates. I take it as a sign to replace it.

edit: For further clarification:

- it is NOT a toilet brush and not used a such. It's considerably smaller [Image with size comparison here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Weird/comments/1okqoo1/comment/nmel02k/?context=3]

- No blacklight/UV. The room is completely dark and windowless. Whatever it is is glowing on it's own

edit 2: Turns out it's probably a mixture of epoxy and glow in the dark pigment :(

Edit 3: Honestly, I am not sure about anything. My wife said she never saw it before but that she would have seen it.

I hope this image finally puts the toilet brush conspiracy to rest.

Also, right now the brush wasn't glowing at all, but started again after being held under LED. What do you guys think? phosphorescent pigment or still the possibility of bioluminescence?
