You’re covered in tons of disgusting stuff—bacteria, fungus, and microbes.
You, everyone you know, your mom, The Queen of England, the bum on the corner—everyone’s got it.
And according to a recent study, it turns out we’ve got more than we ever thought before:
the remarkable variety of fungi we have at various places along our body—14 spots in all, including the creases behind the ear, the toes, the heels, the glabella (that’s the spot between your eyebrows), and the inguinal crease.
Most of the fungi are good fungi and harmless. Athlete’s foot, jock itch and others are not.
But it’s clear that when we try to kill everything on our bodies, we end up killing ourselves. We’re living, breathing breeding grounds for a little bit of everything. And it’s time we accept it.
