Why keeping your shower head clean is essential:

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."

CBS: "Are you showering in dangerous germs? Dr. Charles Daley, of National Jewish Hospital in Denver, said the bacteria can cause lung disease"

ABC: "Could shower disease be on your shower head! ...the showerhead makes it especially easy for all that potentially harmful bacteria to have a direct route into your respiratory system"

CHICAGO TRIBUNE: "Dangerous bacteria may lurk in shower heads. Dangerous bacteria may be spraying out of your shower head and right into your face, according to a new study ...shower heads spray tiny, aerosolized particles that can be inhaled into the lungs"
