Aaaaaaauuuuuugh! (Or, if you prefer, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!)

From Discover Magazine online: “Their research is already yielding surprising results. Pace’s studies of residential showers have raised serious concerns that showerheads may act as delivery vehicles for bacteria that cause pulmonary disease. Dunn’s microbial transects of the American house are turning up shocking similarities between the ecosystem of your pillow and that of your toilet (see “Mapping the Home’s Microbe Habitats,” page 5). And you don’t even want to know what is turning up in detailed analyses of public bathrooms.”

I am going to dip my entire house in boiling bleach now, starting with my  pillowcase .
