No matter how many times we take a bath a day, bacteria and germs are still living in and out of us. In case you’ve forgotten or you didn’t know, “the average human has over 100 trillion microbes in and on their body” which only defines how ‘dirty’ are we.
This article is for men and for those who have beard and if you do love your whiskers, don’t read any further. Buckle up because according to a new study, your beard may contain the same bacteria found in poop.
Yes. In a study performed by Quest Diagnostics in Albuquerque, New Mexico, facial hair hygiene was put to test when laboratory took swabs of a handful of volunteer beards and tested them for cleanliness and the result is indeed shocking.
John Golobic, a microbiologist for Quest Diagnostics, said that the lab results revealed the same kind of bacteria “you’d find in (fecal matter).” However, a much larger sample size would be necessary to confirm that the average beard is as dirty as a toilet.
Sorry, but that’s a yuck.
