The longer the beard becomes, the more likely it is.

Studies have shown that people who are "smooth beards" contain three times more dangerous bacteria on their faces.

The beard can be one of the dirtiest parts on the body, even equal to . the toilet. However, according to a recent study, "smooth beards" may contain bacteria that cause infection with resistance to antibiotics when compared to beards.

Beard can be one of the dirtiest parts on the body.

The study was conducted on 408 people in a hospital in the UK. The results showed that non-bearers were three times more likely to carry MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) than the full bearded boys.

In addition, the ability to carry Staphylococcus is also more than 10%. These are bacteria that cause skin, respiratory, or food poisoning infections. Therefore, it can be said that bearded farmers seem to live longer.

People who do not bear a beard are likely to carry MRSA bacteria.

But not yet. Dr. Adam Roberts - biologist at the University of London (UK) has analyzed more than 100 samples of bacteria on the beard.

In it, he found some bacteria that could kill other bacteria, such as E. coli (bacteria that cause intestinal disease). Therefore, Roberts believes that stubble - or rather, the bacteria in the beard will bring the potential to develop some new antibiotics.

This is really significant when the current antibiotic level is gradually losing its effectiveness. 30 years on, we have not yet developed any new antibiotics. Meanwhile 700,000 people die each year from drug resistance.

The study was published in Hospital Infection.
