RE: Bacteria On Skin Can Aid Wound Healing

in #steemstem7 years ago

Right! I totally agree with you. I think, obviously this is completely subjective, that we should try to deviate from the germophobic culture that has encapsulated this age. Hand sanitizer every 5 seconds for no reason. Obviously it's extremely important to wash your hands and hygiene cannot be stressed enough, however, there is something to be said about preparing your body for encounters with bacteria in order to strengthen your immune system. This also plays a role in adaptive immunity. Basically, don't be over the top with scrubbing every inch of your body multiple times a day because you do dry out your skin and you destroy potentially beneficial bacteria. Food for thought!
