Men's beards and germs: Men's beards have higher levels of microbes than clean-shaven chins and dog necks, increasing potential health risks, but personal preference ultimately decides whether to grow one.
Men's beards harbor significantly more microbes than the necks of dogs, making them potentially more germ-ridden than a clean-shaven chin. A study found that all 18 men in the study had high microbial counts on their skin and saliva, while only 23 of the 30 dogs showed similar levels of germiness. While some men may prefer to keep a full beard, it's important to maintain cleanliness to avoid potential health risks associated with the increased bacterial presence. Additionally, some people may be deterred from kissing or being close to someone with a beard due to the perceived germ factor. Ultimately, the decision to grow a beard comes down to personal preference, but it's important to consider the potential health implications.
