Some beards are so full of poo they are as dirty as toilets


The beard revolution may be at its peak – but an investigation by microbiologists has warned a proud display of facial hair could be dirtier than a toilet.

Anyone who’s anyone is sporting a beard these days, but maybe the trend is cause for concern.

Microbiologist John Golobic, of Quest Diagnostics in New Mexico, swabbed a number of beards searching for bacteria.

He said: ‘I’m usually not surprised, and I was surprised by this.’

Several beards contained normal bacteria, but some contained so much poo they were comparable to toilets.

If there were similar samples in the water system, the scientist said it would have to be shut down for disinfecting.

‘Those are the types of things you’d find in (fecal matter),’ Mr Golobic said.

And although none of the levels were enough to cause illness, the microbiologist said: ‘There would be a degree of uncleanliness that would be somewhat disturbing.’

Lots of hand washing and thorough beard scrubbing is the key, gents.

And Mr Golobic added: ‘Try to keep your hands away from your face, as much as possible,” he said.

What a horrible thought.

I'm wondering HOW beards have poo in them anyway??

too many ass lickers about if you ask me.....

Well, he doesn't say actual poo was found. He speaks of the "types of things you’d find in (fecal matter)." Remember, poo is just the food you ate six-hours ago.

Nevertheless, it's the type of thing I'd be concerned about. too.

I don't believe it anyway. I think it's all shit.

Nevertheless, I'm cutting WAY back on shitburgers.

well there goes lunch

Beardz, moustaches are generally manky looking IMHO, I would never go with a woman who had either.

Clean shaven is best

Aging and dirty. All you need for that extra bit of oomph is a fag on the go.

Beards are sexy and they say "man" - bristles are nice too.
Never been into the clean-shaven look.

I wonder what you can find in ear hair?
