About Me
- Alexandra
- A homeschooling mother of one teenager and a little. In 2001, I resigned from my 13 year position as a case manager to homeschool my oldest who was a preschooler at the time, and later a daughter who came along in 2005. This is by far the hardest job I've ever loved. My husband of nearly 20 years supports us as a fire fighter and EMT.

CU study: Showers Can Spray Hot and Cold Running Germs
CU researchers analyzed 50 shower heads from homes, apartments and public places in Denver and eight other cities and found that about three in 10 of them contained significant levels of Mycobacterium avium, bacteria linked to pulmonary disease....Pace said people taking showers are “probably not” at risk of getting sick unless their immune system is compromised. He added that plastic shower heads seem to “load up” with more bacteria-rich biofilms, so metal shower heads may be “a good alternative.” Read more here.
We use those all metal water savers in our shower. We got ours at our state fair's water exposition. This one sold at Amazon looks almost identical to the one that we use. It has a five customer star rating at Amazon.

Oh yuck!
I'll have to tell my husband about this.

Yuck! This makes me glad that we just installed new shower heads that have had no chance to gunk up yet and that they are metal.
It also makes me want to include soaking them in bleach once or twice a year to kill whatever gathers!
