Danger! Your shower will kill you!


http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8254206.stm

One of those great news reports that starts out scary and then it slowly waters the threat down towards the end, finishing up with something along the lines of 'if you are already moments away from death this probably wont help"

We should probably panic though and burn all our showers, which wont be easy !

And now prepare for the onset of ilnesses caused by excessive body odour!

I'd guessed the cause before I even read the article.  Got to the middle of the first para and was proven right.  Didn't bother reading the rest.

Do they think we're daft and have no idea that things you don't clean might harbour bugs???  Please don't tell me that I paid some of my salary for this study to be undertaken.

Nothing a squirt of Dettox Mould & Mildew Anti Bac won't cure after every shower...

Ok, that may be overkill!  How about once a week?  Can you live with that?  wink

Lead researcher Professor Norman Pace, said: "If you are getting a face full of water when you first turn your shower on, that means you are probably getting a particularly high load of Mycobacterium avium, which may not be too healthy." 

 How many people do you know that get in the shower, face towards the shower head and then turn the water on?...spaz...Ben

That would be incredibly dumb. There's not a shower in the world that doesn't go through the 'absolute zero/hotter than the sun' cycle before settling on the one tempreature you don't want.
