All the bearded guys in the study had high microbial counts, compared with only 23 out of 30 dogs tested. Conclusion? Dogs are fine to share MRI machines.
That’s because a new study suggests that bearded guys actually have more germs than a dog’s fur.
They did so by comparing the bacterial load in colony-forming units of human-pathogenic microorganisms in specimens taken from 18 bearded men and 30 furry dogs. Turns out all the bearded bros showed high microbial counts, compared with only 23 out of 30 dogs. In fact, seven of the men had so much beard bacteria they were at risk of getting sick, according to the BBC.
“On the basis of these findings, dogs can be considered as clean, compared with bearded men,” study author Andreas Gutzeit told the BBC.However, some beard buffs are making cutting remarks about the study.
