Women lead men in bacteria, hands down
By RANDOLPH E. SCHMID,AP Science Writer AP – Tuesday, November 4
WASHINGTON – Wash your hands, folks, especially you ladies. A new study found that women have a greater variety of bacteria on their hands than men do. And everybody has more types of bacteria than the researchers expected to find.
“One thing that really is astonishing is the variability between individuals, and also between hands on the same individual,” said University of Colorado biochemistry assistant professor Rob Knight, a co-author of the paper.
“The sheer number of bacteria species detected on the hands of the study participants was a big surprise, and so was the greater diversity of bacteria we found on the hands of women,” added lead researcher Noah Fierer, an assistant professor in Colorado’s department of ecology and evolutionary biology.
The researchers aren’t sure why women harbored a greater variety of bacteria than men, but Fierer suggested it may have to so with the acidity of the skin. Knight said men generally have more acidic skin than women.
Other possibilities are differences in sweat and oil gland production between men and women, the frequency of moisturizer or cosmetics applications, skin thickness or hormone production, he said.
Women also may have more bacteria living under the surface of the skin where they are not accessible to washing, Knight added.
Asked if guys should worry about holding hands with girls, Knight said: “I guess it depends on which girl.”
He stressed that “the vast majority of the bacteria we have on our body are either harmless or beneficial … the pathogens are a small minority.”
The researchers took samples from the palms of 51 college students _ that’s 102 hands _ and tested the samples using a new, highly detailed system for detecting bacteria DNA.
They identified 4,742 species of bacteria overall, only 5 of which were on every hand, they report on Monday’s online edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The average hand harbored 150 species of bacteria.
Not only did individuals have few types of bacteria in common, the left and right hands of the same individual shared only about 17 percent of the same bacteria types, the researchers found.
The differences between dominant and non-dominant hands were probably due to environmental conditions like oil production, salinity, moisture or variable environmental surfaces touched by either hand of an individual, Fierer said.
Knight said the researchers hope to repeat the experiment in other countries where different hands are assigned specific tasks.
While the researchers stressed the importance of regular hand washing, they also noted that washing did not eliminate bacteria.
“Either the bacterial colonies rapidly re-establish after hand washing, or washing (as practiced by the students included in this study) does not remove the majority of bacteria taxa found on the skin surface,” the researchers said in their report.
While the tests could determine how many different types of bacteria were present, they could not count the total amount of bacteria on each hand.
The research was funded primarily by the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.

Congratulations!!!
This is my son Reggie, isn’t he a cutie?
He have graduated from Kindergarten last week. Finally, the long awaited school holidays will be here soon. What a relief, no more waking really early in the morning.
At first he was really excited to go to Primary 1 but lately he has been telling me that he don’t want to go anymore because he is scared. Someone has been telling him things that scared him. And that someone is non other than his teacher. He said that his teacher told them that in primary 1 they will have to do everything, finish all the worksheets & stuff by themselves. Well, I’m sure she is just preparing/conditioning them for the hard tasks ahead but somehow it has a negative effect on my son. I have to re-assured him that it’s not really hard as long as he have to pay attention & listen to his teachers & that Mama & Daddy are always there to help him.

Do not be one of those who,
rather than risk failure, never attempt
anything.
Read proverbs 29:25
There is a communion with God
that ask for nothing, yet ask for
everything…. He who seeks the
Father more than anything he can give is
likely to have what he asks, for he is
not likely to ask amiss.
Read Psalms 86:11
The Bible says that being a Christian is not only a great
way to die, but it’s also the best way to live.
Read 1 Corinthians 7:17
We are to praise God for all things,
regardless of where they seem to
originate. Doing this is the key to
receiving the blessings of God.
Praise will wash away resentment.
Read Psalm 138:1
The purpose of all prayer is to find God’s will and to make
that will our prayer.
Read Psalms 86:11
I Think I Will
My first objective for this blog is to just share my music collection, but I changed my mind. I have other interests so why not share it here!!! Anyway, this blog is called This & That. So why not post some of “this” & some of “that” or whatever it is that fancies me.
inspirations, hobbies, passtime & stuff
