The BBC reports:
Swiss scientists say there is a higher amount of bacteria lurking in beard bristles than in the fur of your dog. Researchers from the Hirslanden Clinic in Switzerland took swabs from the facial fuzz of 18 men and the necks of 30 dogs, across a range of breeds – that’s the dogs, not the men, by the way – and compared the results between the two.
The results are pretty gross. Every single bearded man, aged from 18 to 76, had high counts of bacteria in their beards. While only 23 out of the 30 dogs had the same result. The other dogs tested recorded medium to low levels. Seven of the men had so much beard bacteria, there was a risk of them getting sick.
New research carried out in the Hirslanden Clinic in Switzerland finds that men’s beards have more germs and bacteria than a dog’s fur.https://t.co/K0sp5PrIoX
