well it's back to anxiety land.
i was in my son's bathroom, and noticed the shower pipe looked dusty, so i wiped it off.
we have a shower in there that has a diverter. so, you can use the handheld(which you can keep in place or take off and use), or you can divert water up the pipe and use the rain shower head.
my son doesn't ever use the rain shower head.
so, i wiped it off . then i realized there was a silicone cover on the rain head, and it comes off for cleaning. so, i thought oh i'll clean this off while i'm at it. when i pulled the silicone cover partway off, water came out!
so, now i'm freaking out because who knows how long that water had been trapped in the shower head? weeks? months? years?
i'm scared we could get legionnairres or something from it? that shower steams up alot. and although it wouldn't be coming from the rain head, steam is still in the shower when my son uses it.
i don't google, but i want to know if it's ok for me to clean it off myself. and i want to know that we haven't been exposing our son to legionnaires this whole time.
this is just another thing...i didn't ask for.
