Shower - great shelter for bacteria, fungi proliferate

According to Matthew Gebert - a technician at Fierer Laboratory at Colorado University, the shower is a "common house" of microorganisms, pathogens, mold in the toilet.

Aaron E. Glatt, MD - Dean of the South Nassau Community Hospital in Oceanside, New York, said that the bacteria that exist in the shower are available but also good and bad bacteria.

And there are quite a lot of pathogenic bacteria found on the shower. Specifically, NTM bacteria (Nontuberculous Mycobacteria ) are commonly found in soil and water but are also found in showers.

Although many species of NTM (over 150 species) are harmless, some NTM bacteria can cause severe lung infections, especially for people with weak immune systems.

Be careful with the shower in public because you have a higher risk of bacterial infection.

  1. Clean the shower regularly : remove the shower head and rinse it with a brush, or soak it with white vinegar and water (1: 1 ratio) for 1 hour and then rinse to clean again.
  2. Be careful with the shower in a public place because you have a higher risk of bacterial infection, especially when there are open wounds.
    If you are sick, you should avoid showering because your immune system is weak at the moment, and it is easy to be invaded by bacteria.
  3. Avoid rinsing your mouth when bathing , "opening your mouth" laughing a lot in the shower.
