See What Was On An 8 Year Old Boy’s Hand After Playing Outside

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Tasha Sturm is a lab technician at Cabrillo College in California and she's put together an incredible set of images showing us what actually lives on our skin. She had her 8 year old son place his hand in a special gel and then a pretri after playing outside, then she let it incubate. These are the microbes that were living on his hand and she says that this is normal for everyone to having something similar on their own skin

Fungi, bacteria, and viruses live in and on our bodies at all times. It's a symbiotic relationship.

Myth Busters did the 5 second test when you drop something on the kitchen floor/can you still eat it


they found that it's not how long the item in the floor, it's where the item lands...certain parts of the floor have way more germs and bacteria than others and certain parts of the house are worse than others...

I would imagine that kids hand is quite normal considering what children touch all day long...

I saw that episode, make you think when you drop food on the floor :lol:

They also showed the difference between dropping something dry, like a cookie or a cracker, versus dropping something moist like a piece of lunch meat and the difference between what either picks up when it's dropped on the floor. The moist stuff was MUCH worse :lol:

Yes and didn't they go into the bathroom around the toilet? That was cleaner than parts of the kitchen floor ffs :lol:


I also read that your dishrag at the kitchen sink contains more germs than your toilet seat. I started washing/exchanging dishrags more often after learning that.
