Taking showers can make you sick.

ohyeahfacts:

Sort of.

Getting a face full of shower water can lead to lung disease.

Researchers from the University of Colorado found that 30 percent of shower heads contain extremely high levels of Mycobacterium avium, which is linked to pulmonary infections. Since tiny droplets of water from a shower often suspend themselves in the air, it makes it easy for the bacteria to be inhaled into the lungs.

Another one of life’s greatest contradictions.
