At least 2 times a month I take down my shower heads and soak them in vinegar.
I had heard that they did hold bacteria and because I shower the fids I started doing this. I also on a weekly basis spray vinegar up the shower heads. I do not know if this helps, but it cannot hurt.

Oh geeeese - no, nothing is safe apparently. Perhaps I will start cleaning the shower head. It seems easy enough.

o.0 says right there in the article that it's not a cause for worry except in people with compromised immune systems or delicate situations.
I do not breathe when having water thrown down into my face, personally. ^^;

Well i'm just sprinting towards the finish line to get cancer I guess! I shower usually 2-3 times a day, drink city water (filtered through my pur), drink diet soda, use a cell phone, sit in front of an old CRT computer monitor, worked in smoky night clubs for a couple years (even though I have never smoked a day in my life), eat chargrilled food, use a microwave, breathe....
