Men's polished beards can be even dirtier than the toilet

Scientists are still debating whether the bacteria on the beard of men are ultimately beneficial or harmful.

The Paper led the results of a microbiologist's investigation showing that a large number of bacteria exist on carefully polished beards may be even more dirty than the toilet.

John Golobic, a microbiologist in New Mexico (USA), conducted a study of the number of bacteria on men's antennae. He said : "I don't often feel surprised about anything but for this, I was startled."

He said that there are beards containing the bacteria that are considered to be normal, but also have beards that contain unimaginably large amounts of bacteria, similar to a toilet.

There are beards that contain an enormous amount of bacteria that cannot be imagined.

John Golobic explained that if such a large amount of bacteria is detected in the water supply system, it is necessary to cut off the water to disinfect.

He also said that although there are some beard contains a huge amount of bacteria but has not reached the level of disease. However, with such a large amount of bacteria can make you feel insecure. If he wants a clean beard, he advises that bearded people should be able to wash their hands and not wipe their faces with their hands.

In addition, several other researchers have also done research on beard bacteria.

"We want to prove that we are right or wrong, but we have not found evidence to prove this. Therefore, it is not possible to conclude that the bacteria on the beards are harmful, similar to the We cannot conclude that it is beneficial for humans , " said Dr Adam Roberts, a microbiologist from the University of London, who led a study.

If you want to have a clean beard, bearers should wash their hands and not wipe their faces with their hands.

Previous research has shown that whiskers containing harmful bacteria such as E. coli, the same types of bacteria often appear in the intestinal tract. These types of bacteria can cause stomach discomfort and urinary tract infections.

However, a new study has found 100 types of bacteria from 20 different beards, of which no harmful bacteria were detected."In fact, 25% of the bacteria that contain" antibiotics "can both kill harmful bacteria, do not create any harmful chemicals for the body," said Dr. Adam Roberts. to speak.

This finding is important because the effectiveness of antibiotics is getting worse while new antibiotics have not been found. Scientists say they need to go through many different channels to test bacteria.
