With about two-thirds of sinks found to harbor Fusarium, it's clear that those buildings' inhabitants are exposed to these fungi on a regular basis Well, the Mrs. has about 3.5 ft of reddish brown hair. So, when cleaning the shower drain, I'm definitely exposed to Disgustarium.

Plumbing drains are filthy? Who knew? If they look hard enough they will also find turds and used toilet paper. /idiots.

Wonderful research, great reporting; do you think they could spare a sentence or two concerning what to do about it? Nah. That would be too easy.

Do plumbers get more infectious diseases? You would think so, but I’ve never seen any data on this.

Sounds like a rousing endorsement of elbow grease over splash/spray/pour on disinfectants

Good suggestion about Clorox. Is it safe for septic systems though?
So as long as I don’t eat out of my sink drain I think I’ll be okay.

David Geiser, professor of plant pathology and a member of the research team, pointed out that the serious infections caused by fusaria are relatively uncommon and that these fungi may even play positive roles in plumbing systems. What could that positive role be?

Did they check the drain in Jerry Sandusky’s shower stall?
