Your Beard May Be Dirtier Than Your Toilet

Beards are very common in today's culture, but could your beard be dirtier than your toilet?

KOAT-TV in Albuquerque wanted to find out just how filthy things are in men's beards.  So they hired a lab to take swabs from different guys' facial hair and test them out.

They found that some of the beards were fine and safe, but some of them contained the same nasty fecal bacteria you would find in a dirty toilet.

Just having those germs in your beard won't make you sick.

But let's say you touch your beard, then eat without washing your hands, THAT could put you at risk.

So be careful when you stroke your manly facial hair.
