Hipster Beards May Be as Dirty as a Toilet

Ladies are loving the facial hair fad. It's all about the thick beards lately. Be careful ladies, giving smootches may be like kissing the rim of a toilet.

A TV station in Albuquerque, New Mexico wanted to find out just how filthy men's beards are. So they hired a lab to take swabs from different guys' facial hair and test them out. They found that some of the beards were fine and safe,  but some of them contained the same nasty fecal bacteria you'd find in a gas station toilet.

Now, just having those germs in your beard won't make you ill. But if you touch your beard, then eat without washing your hands, that could put you at risk. So be careful when you stroke your manly facial hair.
