Scientists identified more than 600 viruses in samples taken from bathrooms in the United States. The viruses infect bacteria — not people — and scientists say they may provide more benefits than causes for concern.

Northwestern University researchers identified more than 600 different viruses on 92 showerhead and 34 toothbrush samples — and no two samples were alike.

Microbiologists found that showerheads and toothbrushes are harboring an "extremely diverse" collection of viruses. The post Study finds showerheads and toothbrushes ‘teeming with viruses’ appeared first on Talker.
