Professor Norman Pace, of the University of Colorado, said that shower curtains can be breeding grounds for deadly killer micro-organisms.
He said: 'These are breeding grounds for microbiological problems. The soap scum on your shower curtain is a lush bed of microbes. It contains quite robust micro-organisms that can survive for a long time.'
These potential killers are thrown up in clouds each time the shower is turned on and can easily enter the lungs and open wounds on the body. They are especially dangerous to the weak and immune challenged.
Steps you can take to reduce the risks from these soap scum killers are ::
Wash the shower curtains as frequent as daily
Use glass shower partitions
Don't use shower baths
Professor Pace also said that such micro-organisms also thrive on kitchen sponge and cloth and these should be washed frequently and left to dry and they should alsso be replaced frequently.
Hot tubs and swimming pools also have such killers on ttheir surfaces and can cause what are called "hot tub lungs' and "lifeguard lung".
