Hi Suenim.....It is recommended by National Jewish Hosputal to use the Micron 0.2 filter attached to your shower head...this prevents MAC from getting thru...Dr Falkingham, guru in MAC recommends...I just also ready a recent study done, saying that patients r likely getting reinfected in the bathroom...ie high level of MAC found in showerhead, bathroom tap, sinks bathtub water etc....I agree with slit of what you are saying as well....I tend to follow National and Mayo recommendations to extend my life as long as I can without getting crazy about things

Hi Jennifer - I guess I am a research/science geek. Can you cite the recent study you are referring to ? I would like to read it. Most of what I have seen about reinfection looked anecdotal to me. I would like to see an actual study.

Where can you buy a Micron 0.2 filter?

You might want to read the University of Colorado Study done on NTM and Shower Heads. They used over 650 Shower Heads and was the most peered reviewed study on this issue to date.
