Man wears beard - a beard to be exact. If you do not have one today, you probably have one tomorrow. Or the day after tomorrow. Or never?! Microbiologists now want to find out that there are more bacteria in the man's beard than in the toilet.

Positive aftertaste: The bacteria, which are also in faeces, can not transmit diseases. But the question of how they get into the beard remains.
