Can showering make me sick?

Can Showering Make You Sick?

Pathogens such as Naegleria can infect people who bathe or shower in water containing the disease. For this reason, it's important to choose a shower filter that can remove bacteria and pathogens. The water filter you use for your kitchen sink or that comes with your special water filter is probably a carbon filter. These filters remove chlorine to improve the taste and odor of water. For your shower water filter, you need something stronger. Look for a shower water filter that mentions pathogen removal on the packaging.
