6 objective reasons not to be afraid of germs

It is not necessary to dwell too much on the struggle with the microbes, because this struggle is doomed to proval

I'm sure many have heard horror stories about people with bacterial infections who literally ate his face. A person with this infection even have to wear a special plastic mask with slits for eyes.

However, the bacteria do not get too afraid.



In every public toilet there is usually antibacterial soap, to make you feel safe. And in your own bathroom "live" hand gels, sanitary napkins, sprays, lotions, detergents, which, according to the assurances of the sellers' kill 99, 9% of germs and bacteria ».

Of course, there is nothing wrong with striving to be clean. But at the same time, we probably take it to the paranoid. Because we tend to forget that ...

1. We have already covered with bacteria, and this we do not vredit

"But I do not want bacteria crawling on my skin! It's very important, "- you shout angrily shaking the air. You may be interested to know that in the air at any given time there is a large number of bacteria, some of them are not even classified.

More importantly, we do not know exactly what the bacteria may be capable of a certain type. And what if some of them are designed specifically to be a part of us?

To answer this question a group of microbiologists from the Institute of MIT. These bacteria are used to clean themselves.



One of these guys once saw a horse carefully sniffs some dirt. Most of us have decided that this is just a silly horse. But the guy asks the question: what if the horses have some primitive ability to smell the bacteria feed on ammonia, which is a part of the sweat?

Researcher grown culture, which he called "AB +". Then he struck the culture itself, and began to sweat heavily. For this, he did not wash for 12 years. He barely rinsed body with water every few days. The deduced culture defended him from the smell of sweat. It literally ate it afterwards, so that, in spite of the absence of a full soul, does not stink like a dirty troglodyte. However, his skin became softer. He returned her natural color, and spots on it did not appear.

Now think about how much time you spend in the shower, and how much you spend on the purchase of soap and shampoo while you just might put on a little dirt particular, and calm down.

2. We are in any case otvratitelny



Yes, you are disgusting. It is not always visible, but it is. You need to blow your nose regularly, your body comes from the feces. This occurs continuously, in a separate room under the name "WC". In the world there are huge companies that got rich at the expense of what created the cotton swabs that you remove all that has accumulated in your ears. The face you may appear spots, and on the fingers and toes is constantly growing dead flesh, so it has to be cut every week. Of course, you can try to refinish or paint it, but we all know what it is.

This simply is not the end: dandruff on the head, the mud between the toes, sweat stains on his shirt. So you're not just a dirty, you - disgusting. If you realized it was still afraid of the bacteria, it is at least strange. We still can not avoid contact with them as ...

3. The bacteria around than you dumaete

The total biomass of bacteria on the planet more than a biomass of all plants and animals. We tried to remove them from our body. We go into the shower, and my self chemicals, rub hands sanitizer as if without this bacteria destroy the pristine surface of our skin. But on this surface can not be removed completely all bacteria. It is virtually impossible. It will be like trying to remove all of the stars of the universe.



One gram of soil contains approximately the usual 50 million bacteria. Once again, one gram of the earth. Your body weighs much more, no matter how much you exercise. Now imagine how much bacteria is on our body at any given time.

Nobody knows exactly how long the bacteria there. According to the researchers, their age can be 5 quintillion years. I do not think that in such a period with bacteria, nothing happened. They are constantly developed and distributed, and you will not be able to do absolutely nothing to get rid of them. This is their planet, and we are just guests on it. And we should immediately apologize to the bacteria in such a cavalier intrusion into their possession.

4. Our methods of eradicating bacteria uzhasny

Our attempts to destroy the bacteria lead to the fact that someone appears the work consists in the fact that the soap an animal and see, will survive it: "So, this sample washed away not only all wool, but the entire skin of the Rabbit ».

After some changes in the chemical composition of the researchers hope to stop at the "looks like this pattern is finally ready to ensure that it shows a model, because we have found the right combination».

Almost all modern shampoos contain sodium lauryl sulfate, which destroys all bacteria, plus helps hair to dry faster. Why instead of chemical combinations do not use something more natural that also achieves the goal? And yes, we could save a few rabbits in (if you're worried about, of course).

5. Nature wants you to be covered bakteriyami

Allergy - a characteristic feature of Western culture. Children have an allergy to nuts, the occurrence of which no one can explain. Some researchers believe that this is due to an increase in the number of caesarean sections, which are considered more sterile than a traditional vaginal birth. Roughly the same thing happens at the car: a new car before releasing necessarily lubricated. And by the way, they usually charge for this extra fee, while the mother does it for free.



Bifidobacteria are also useful for the baby's intestines. They create a line of defense against inflammation and infection. And they do it with the help of breast milk, which is a natural probiotic. It is fashionable to use products with bifidobacteria, but do not forget that your mother you pumped the them from the beginning.

Some of these microbes began their journey in her colon, and then appeared in her breast milk, then in your mouth, and finally, in your gut. And all because nature wants in your digestive system bacteria were correct. Because the nature - it's not only disgusting, but also useful.

6. Bacteria can change vas

If your intestinal flora suddenly out of balance, it can be deadly. Everyone is afraid of E. coli because it looks like a drunk at a party that fights with everyone and rewards them diarrhea. Meanwhile, if you do not stick to give spoiled meat, she will live in, and to behave pretty well.

But within us there are worse things than E. coli.



For example Clostridium difficile. If these guys just do not stop, they quickly spread to the entire digestive system, it is fully captured and just kill you, with death will not be a pleasant one.

However, they should not be afraid. Because we already know how to manage them.

Sometimes, in order to return to normal microflora, doctors put feces in the digestive tract. It looks like this: feces taken from a healthy person is placed in the digestive tract of the sick person. Then the patient is gradually changing the intestinal metabolism. And sick people become healthy.
