Your lucky. The shower water is not sterile.

Oh I know but I work for the city and see the tests. There is very little live bacteria in it with the chlorine and other chems (why I do not drink it)

The amount of bacteria after washing with soap and water is decreased substantially with just water but with soap reduces the bacteria down to 0-4% which is negligible.

now look at alcohol swab...as much as live 20% bacteria left over. Iodine is more effective than alcohol.

You can do the research brother, I did. Scrubbing with soap and hat water is more effective at removing bacteria than swabbing with alcohol.

This all comes from sources that cite references. I did not believe it either my friend.

I think most infections are not from our skin but from the top of a vial that has been punctured 10 times and you forget to wipe it. That I always do.
