CNN: “Study: Showerheads may deliver blast of bacteria. A new study says that potentially disease-causing germs can get trapped in showerheads and grow into biofilm, or coats of slime that deliver a bacteria blast along with your hot water. Showerheads are dark, wet, and warm -- the ideal environment for bacteria that cause lung diseases to thrive. In fact, levels of these bacteria are more than 100-fold higher than levels found in the pre-shower water, according to the researchers.”
CONSUMER REPORTS: “Recent study points to showerheads as bacterial breeding ground. When a shower is on, pathogens accompany the water droplets that become suspended in the air … these droplets are easily inhaled deeply into the lungs.”
