My facial toilet

[Skanky Vamp]

A handful of brave men allowed Quest Diagnostics microbiologist John Golobic to swab their beards, and the results showed some beards are as dirty as toilets.

“I'm usually not surprised and I was surprised by this,” Golobic said. Several of the beards that were tested contained a lot of normal bacteria, but some were comparable to toilets.

“Those are the types of things you'd find in (fecal matter),” Golobic said, referring to the tests. Even though some of the bacteria won’t lead to illness, Golobic said it’s still a little concerning.

“There would be a degree of uncleanliness that would be somewhat disturbing,” Golobic said. If the city were to find similar samples in the water system, Golobic said it would need to be shut down for disinfecting.

Urgh. 😱
One of the many reasons that I don't have a beard (don't suit them really).

Speaking of fecal matter (and who doesn't love talking about that) microbiologists say that people should really put down the toilet seat when they flush after going to the bathroom...otherwise the flushing action can mean that some of that bacteria ends up on your tooth brushes. 🙁

I read something about the subject on Buzzfeed this morning, interesting.

Read that on Buzzfeed last year and since then I put down the seat, I don't need poop on my toothbrush 😛

Thats why they have medicine cabinets and sinks away from the crapper! but (on average) there is more fecal matter and germs on the modern cell phone than a toilet seat.

Meh, doesn't make me sick, than it's fine. Sure, when you say things like having poop on your toothbrush, it's not very appealing. But if were just talking about the bacteria, than it might do your immune system some good. But again, if you got poop in your beard there's a problem, wash your hands!

Beards are so over. And this is the proverbial nail in the coffin. Or toilet. *spits*
