Showers are supposed to be clean places. Well, not really. But shower heads? Yeah, those are supposed to be clean. However, a University of Colorado study finds 20 percent of shower heads harbor “significant levels” of a bacteria (mycobacterium avium) linked to pulmonary disease. (LiveScience)
Great. So what should you do? Well, if you don’t have a “compromised immune system,” don’t worry about it. If you do, buy a metal shower head for starters, and clean it often.

About Me
- pound360
- I started pound360 to channel my obsession with vitamins, running and the five senses. Eventually, I got bored focusing on all that stuff, so I came back from a one month hiatus in May of 2007 (one year after launching Pound360) and broadened my mumblings here to include all science.
