You might want to think again.<\/p>\n<p>A doctor has gone viral on TikTok after explaining why the &#8216;pink slime&#8217; lurking in your bathroom isn&#8217;t just gross &#8211; it could actually be a warning sign of something much bigger.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Karan Raj recently posted a video after another user admitted they ended up in the hospital because they failed to clean the &#8220;pink mold&#8221; from their university dorm showers.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to the video, Dr. Karan explained:\u00a0<em>&#8220;If you&#8217;ve seen this pink slime lurking in your bathroom it&#8217;s not mould &#8211; it&#8217;s bacteria.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>He revealed that the pink substance often found near drains, sinks, or shower crevices isn\u2019t actually mold at all. It\u2019s a bacteria known as\u00a0<em>serratia marcescens<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>And according to him, this bacteria can &#8220;vomit hot pink all over your bathroom.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div

bathoom,&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0he explained.<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0<em>Infectious Disease Advisor<\/em>, this bacteria is widespread and isn\u2019t just found in homes.\u00a0<em>&#8220;It can be found in soil, water, plants, and animals.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;In homes and hospitals, it may be found in the corner of wet showers or wash basins, where it is visible due to the red-colored pigment (prodigiosin) it produces.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While the doctor reassures that, for most people, this bacteria is &#8220;pretty harmless&#8221; even if they come into contact with it, he does offer a word of caution.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;But you still want to avoid getting it in your eyes or open wounds,&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0he warns.<\/p>\n<p>However, for people with weakened immune systems, or those who are hospitalized or critically ill, exposure to this bacteria can be much more serious.\u00a0<em>Infectious Disease Advisor<\/em>\u00a0notes that it is &#8220;often
