A new study suggests a man’s beard contains more germs than a dog’s fur.

Professors with Switzerland's Hirslanden Clinic took swab samples from the whiskers of 18 men and compared them with samples from the necks of 30 dogs of varying breeds.

They found all of the bearded men, aged from 18 to 76, showed high microbial counts, but only 23 out of 30 dogs had high counts, the Daily Mail reports.

Seven of the men sampled were found to be harboring in their beards microbes that posed a threat to human health.

With that massive sample size, you know that conclusion must be sound proof....

What is the point of this study?

Why compared to dogs? Why use the back of the dogs neck as a comparable sample?

It seems the whole point is simply to disparage bearded men.

Beards are security blankets for men with weak jaw lines.

18 people seems like way too small a sample to be relevant.

Sounds like something written by someone who can't grow a beard (most likely a woman or a child)

I can’t lick my beard like dogs can lick their coat in the middle of the day.

Dudes don't wash their hands. It's pretty simple. Don't go around touching stuff then touch your face.

Let's do a study of women's hair, they touch their hair a lot.

Study to try and make weak beta men who can’t grow glorious beards feel better about being basically women.
