Recently there have been studies that show there can be many microorganisms including dangerous pathogens that are living on our shower heads. This is rather disturbing because when we take showers we are suppose to be riding ourselves from dirt and germs not gaining them. The mycobacteria that live on our shower heads are no joke. these mycobacteria can cause serious health problems that can leave a person on medication for the rest of their lives (since they are similar to tuberculosis).One of the reasons these mycobacteria live in our shower heads is because its the best environment for them. These mycobacteria thrive on warm, damp, and dark places such as your shower head. The only solutions suggested would be to buy cheap shower heads and replace them every few months (preferably metal shower heads). Also trying to clean the shower heads can make things worse and increase the number of the mycobacteria. so until next time a clean washroom can be complicated.
