        <description><![CDATA[I'm a bit surprised at the responses here.  Nusca is a journalist, and a well educated one.  He's reporting on a not surprising or scientifically interesting finding that is however very relevant to daily life.The bacteria in your shower head is mostly of concern to the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.  Accepted.A crusty shower head should be cleaned or replaced.  The crustyness comes from calcium and iron deposits not bacteria, but it dramatically increases the surface area on bacterial scale.  Makes sense, but as above it is mostly relevant to those with weak immune systems.This is what I got from the post.  You expect more for free online?  You can get a &quot;post&quot; on a blog for free and the author gets paid pennies to write it.  Or you can actually support real journalism, buy a newspaper or online subscription to one, and let journalists do real journalism for a living wage.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[You have GOT to be kidding!  This is BS!  What about my kitchen sink faucet?  What about my comb? What about my toothbrush?  What about my pillow, my mattress, my pots and pans, the air in my house, office, tavern, park, airplane, or what about my wife?Stop this nonsense!  As a biochemical engineer, I know what I am talking about.  Incidentally, there is nothing in the everyday world akin to an operating room, so get used to living on the Earth.  And the only people who MIGHT want to be more careful are babies under 6 months old, people with AIDS, people on certain cancer medications, and probably YOU, Mr. Nusca.  (Are you the same guy that cried about re-filling those Lexan water bottles??  What did GE Plastics pay you to say that?!?)]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[first, when one lives in the desert , running the shower a couple of minutes before using it is criminal. second, if one lives in a hard-water area, crustiness on a shower head is a given and has nothing to do with bacteris.i am a scinetist, have been one for at least 60 years. i do not like to read comments by scientists who have avoided thinking about what they write.]]></description>
