Bearded Men Carry More Germs Than Dogs ― Study

A recent study has shown that men who keep beards carry more germs than dogs do on their furs.

According to the research, scientists studied the levels of bacteria lurking in 18 men’s facial hair and those lurking in 30 dogs of different breeds.

“The researchers found a significantly higher bacterial load in specimens taken from the men’s beards compared with the dogs’ fur,” said Professor Andreas Gutzeit of Switzerland’s Hirslanden Clinic.

The study was carried out to ascertain if it was possible for humans to pick up diseases from dogs if they used the same MRI scanner.

However, they found out that men aged between 18 to 76 had high microbial counts while another 7 men had harzadous bacteria. On the other hand, only 23 dogs had high microbial counts. The rest of the dogs had moderate count.

When the MRI scanners were disinfected, researchers found higher levels of bugs after the men had used it.

So the conclusion of the study was that dogs can be considered as clean compared with bearded men, said Dr Gutzeit.

However, in a different study, men with beards were found to be better boyfriends.
