Ear and Eye Infections

 Bacteria such as mold and mildew may be living in your shower-head. The bacteria in your shower-head could be making you sick. 

Dr. Brown from the Cleveland Clinic says for the most part bacteria from your shower doesn’t cause a threat in healthy people. The only way to get sick is to inhale the bacteria deeply.

A shower-head is easier to clean than you think.  If you don’t mind removing the shower-head from the pipe. Soak the shower-head in equal parts of vinegar and water solution for a couple hours to over night.  Another solution is to take a gallon size baggie with the vinegar solution in it. Wrap the baggie around the shower-head and secure it with a tie wrap or a bread wrapper. Soak it for a few hours to over night. If this doesn’t seem to work, consider replacing it.

A little bit of maintenance is all it takes to remove mold/mildew and bacteria in your shower-head.
