Men - Dirt: proven by science!

Men are still the most "dirty" sex as the researchers found. In offices, the predominantly male groups, there is the presence of a larger number of bacteria.

If you constantly pick up dirty socks on the floor of her husband, and in the sink regularly find his plate with the remnants of dinner, the suspicion that men are not the biggest fans Health Already we came to mind repeatedly. Now they have received scientific confirmation. Researchers from the University of San Diego analyzed 450 DNA swabs from 90 offices in different US cities, staffed by men and women. All received tests were divided into different categories: men's groups, women's groups, mixed groups.

In these samples were found 500 types of bacteria, many of which resides on the human skin, nose, ear and intestines. Other bacteria are transferred shoes or clothing. The highest concentration of bacteria was found in the desk chair and telephone, and the least they lived on the tables and keyboards.

"Work surfaces in" men's "offices were populated by bacteria in a much greater concentration, - said study author Dr. Scott Kelly. - Special differences between offices in different cities, we did not find it was just a different level Health . Obviously, the men treat her more superficial. "

Science has long been established that the men wash their hands and brush their teeth less often than women. Therefore, man's hands are often dirtier than women. In addition, men are more sweat, which also attracts bacteria. However, their presence is not always a bad thing - it is known that bacteria protect us from various diseases.
