ЁЯЪиSTUDY: SHOWERHEADS CONTAIN OVER 600 VIRUSES!

A Northwestern University study has uncovered over 600 distinct viruses in samples from 92 showerheads and 34 toothbrushes.

Among the findings, mycobacteriophages were prevalent; these viruses could potentially be used to eliminate pathogens from plumbing systems.

Hartmann advises regular cleaning of showerheads and replacing electric toothbrush heads to maintain hygiene.

To sanitize your toothbrush, Dr. Joyce Kahng suggests methods like boiling water, hydrogen peroxide, and even UV sterilizers.

Remember, most microbes are harmless, so embracing them might be the way to go!
