NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Your shower may not be getting you as clean as you think with a U.S. study finding many showerheads are dirty and may be covering you in a daily dose of bacteria that could make you sick.

An analysis of 50 showerheads from nine U.S. cities found that about 30 percent harbored high levels of Mycobacterium avium -- a group of bacteria that can cause lung infections when inhaled or swallowed. Researchers from the University of Colorado at Boulder found the levels of Mycobacterium avium were 100 times higher than those found in typical household water.

ps. Londoners should't worry about this since bathrooms equipped with showerheads are scarce there!

LOL @ Canjeex.

Roobleh, they should conduct a study about the germs lurking in bathrooms with fitted carpets. Who the hell seriously fits a carpet in a bathroom? Who does that? Why?

 

Also what's up with separate taps for hot and cold water? This is the 21st century for God's sake!

The only place in Yurub where baaldi biyaha lagu shubto lagu qabeysto.

 

Laakiin qaarkood wey hormareen now oo waxee soo gataan mid labada tubo qaboob iyo kuleelka ah lagu kala rikibaayo, oo gacantana lagu qabsanaayo iyadoo biyihii la isku keenay. It is a step forward. :D

Haye, Aaliya, ever been on that city, adi? You would've known then. Meesha sideeda kale ma xumo, though.

 

Reer Denmark arkay musqulahooda iyagana, I've seen some of them don't have bathtubs in their musqulo. Adoo taagan qabeysanee, no romantic baths with shumacs and whatnot. :D
