Ladies, if you had to choose between kissing your dog or kissing your man with his beard, most would choose their man but you man want to reconsider now. A new study shows your mans beard has significantly more bacteria than a dog.
Researchers in Switzerland say, “Our study shows a significantly higher bacterial load in specimens taken from men’s beards compared with dogs’ fur (p = 0.036)," the study reads. "All of the men (18/18) showed high microbial counts, whereas only 23/30 dogs had high microbial counts and 7 dogs moderate microbial counts."
