A recent study from CNN has revealed that showerheads may deliver a blast of potentially disease-causing bacteria. The research suggests that germs can get trapped in showerheads, growing into a biofilm or coat of slime that is then released into the hot water. Showerheads provide the ideal, dark, warm, and wet environment for bacteria that can cause lung diseases to thrive, with levels more than 100 times higher than in the pre-shower water.
Similarly, a study from Consumer Reports has pointed to showerheads as a bacterial breeding ground. When the shower is running, pathogens accompany the water droplets that become suspended in the air, which can then be easily inhaled deep into the lungs.
Experts, such as Dr. Charles Daley from the National Jewish Hospital in Denver, have warned that the bacteria found in showerheads can cause lung disease. ABC news has also raised the concern that the showerhead provides a direct route for potentially harmful bacteria to enter the respiratory system.
A U.S. study reported by the Daily News found that many showerheads are dirty and may be exposing users to a daily dose of bacteria that could make them sick. The Chicago Tribune further emphasized that dangerous bacteria may be spraying out of the showerhead and into the user's face, with the aerosolized particles easily inhalable into the lungs.
Researchers have also determined, as reported by Newsmax, that dirty showerheads in the home can spread a dangerous type of bacterial lung infection.
In response to these concerns, antimicrobial and anti-clog nozzles have been developed to address the issue. Ordinary showerheads can lose water pressure due to clogging, as blocked jet passages restrict water flow. However, the new shower nozzles are made with revolutionary Microban Antimicrobial Technology, which inhibits the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria.
The flexible rubber design of these nozzles also allows for easy rub-clean removal of calcium and mineral deposits, helping to keep the showerhead clean and clog-free for superior performance. This Microban protection works 24/7 for the life of the product, ensuring a cleaner shower for the entire family by preventing the growth of harmful microorganisms.
Furthermore, the Microban technology helps extend the product's lifespan by inhibiting the degradation of the showerhead over time, making it easier to clean and maintain. Developed by the world leader in antibacterial technology, this revolutionary 24/7 Lifetime Microban Protection is registered by the EPA and provides the ultimate combination of top quality, high power, and long-lasting antimicrobial protection.
