Have you thought that the shower head may make your sick? As me, I have not thought my Automatic Color Changing LED Shower Head may make me sick. Shower Head Bacteria and Disease Your Shower Head May Make You Sick ,this title catches my eyes.
A recent study by Norman R. Pace of the University of Colorado found that a bacterial organism, a relative of the bacteria that causes tuberculosis, called Mycobacterium, may be ready to shower down on you every time you get under it.
The study indicated that over the years this buidup of dangerous bacteria in your shower head may be making you sick. Because the shower head aerosolized the bacteria into the air, it is recommended you turn the shower on and leave the room for a minute.
The bacteria will still be in the air but at least will not rain down on you. The first spray of the shower is suppose to be the worse. Anyone with breathing problems should replace their shower head as soon as possible according to the study.
The study claims that people who get water from municipals city water supplies were much more prone to have a heavier build up of Mycobacterium in their shower heads. People who got their water from wells had considerably less buildup or this dangerous bacteria in their shower head.
The study also claims that shower heads should be changed 2 to 4 times a year depending on what water supply you are using. I dont agree here. If I change my LED Temperature Control Shower Head 2 to 4 times a year, I am not sure if I can pay for them.
Searching onling , we found that there are also many people have different ideas on it. Different people have different ideas about this report.There are billions and billions of dangerous bacteria that are in your house. If your friend has a large open wound and it's cared for by slapping on some "cancer paste" I guarantee you it will be come a large open festering wound in about a week.

Alternative medicine is psudoscience. Maybe 1% of it has any positive effect on your body, the rest is placebo effect marketed by anecdotal evidence. Any alternative medicines that show potential benefits in controlled clinical trials are quickly turned into drugs by the pharm companies, the rest are junk. One women said.
To grow bacteria in Petri dishes, you also need agar. Agar is a beef broth- based gelatin material that bacteria can easily grow on. The petri dished have to be covered, or they will be contaminated. It is possible to grow dangerous bacteria in a petri dish while doing a simple experiment. Unless you have a laboratory strain of bacteria that you know is safe, you need to treat all bacteria with extreme caution, and should keep it sealed and safely away from commonly used areas. Treat it like it could kill you, be careful so no one ends up sick! period Says.
I have never thought the shower head may make us sick, because we often use the shower head to wash our body include the bacteria. I will not change my LED Shower Faucets 2 to 4 times a year. And to repalce the shower head will cost a lot of money, I dont think it is a good way to solve this problem. We can clean the shower head once a month or once a week to prevent the bateria grow in the shower head.
