Do you know what is coming out of that showerhead, other than water?

​I noticed that every time I took a shower at my home I would almost always start coughing during and after the shower.  After I was finished with the shower my coughing would lessen and I would seem to get better.  I also noticed that when I was out of town and staying in a hotel that I seldom coughed when taking a shower. 
 
Now, I’m not a rocket scientist but it does not take one to figure out that the shower was the common denominator in my coughing.  After looking at the shower head I noticed black and green slime inside some of the showerhead holes and then after spraying it with a household bleach I noticed the slime (mold) disappeared.  Now showerheads are not expensive and can be replaced for under $20 for a simple showerhead.  So, after a trip to the local hardware store I had a new and mold free showerhead installed in my shower.

Guess what?  The coughing attacks are no more!  It was as simple as replacing our 10 year old showerhead.  I honestly feel that my overall health has also improved and with an $18 showerhead.
 
So, if your showerhead has any signs of abnormal growth or deposits on it, go ahead and do yourself and family a favor and replace it.  They are simple to replace, and the rewards can be great.
