NPR Report regarding pseudomonas in toothpaste
MAC & Bronchiectasis | Last Active: 2 days ago | Replies (4)Comment receiving replies
Apparently pseudomonas (among others) was not only found in toothpaste product but also in water, which was used to rinse down several pieces of equipment. Colgate-Palmolive did not get the memo to turn up the water heater!
Slightly related, I've been relieved and somewhat reassured that several hotels that I stayed in over summer and fall had extremely hot tap water (over 130F - yes, I travel with an instant read thermometer!) This hotness discourages growth of all sorts of not-good-for-us bacteria, including NTM, pseudomonas, legionella, etc.

Hi Scoop'
Travel with a thermometer.....thanks for the idea......We have to do what we have to do. It helps us in many ways when we feel we are doing right by ourselves.
I know about legionella and as well mycoplasma pneumonia....had them both together in the mid 80's....so....this BE may have been dormant and sleeping so to speak until just a few years ago when it "came alive" and I was finally diagnosed in 2022. Obviously I survived that.... really bad event. Liquid antibiotics 24/7 and good genes did the trick...oh.... and two good doctors for sure.
Water heater here turned up and going to be drained again this month.
