Here is a great study...easy to follow, just scroll down to the MAC part (bottom of page 2, aka 961).

The best protection against MAC may be estrogen. Fascinating.

Here is more confusing but short study:
<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.erj.ersjournals.com/cgi/content/abstract/31/6/1322
">http://www.erj.ersjournals.com...tract/31/6/1322
</a>

My links never work, just google: MAC lung female hormones
the first and third links...second might be good too, haven't read it yet.

There is some thought that having a metal showerhead may help-the bacteria have a harder time sticking to the metal. They also make charcoal filters for shower heads-I don't know if they help.
