Health Mysterious Skin

Posted by Charles Mudede on Mon, Jun 1, 2009 at 12:55 PM

The life of your skin!

Our skin is home to a much wider array of bacteria than previously thought.

The study also shows that at least among healthy people, the greatest influence on bacterial diversity appears to be body location. For example, the bacteria that live under your arms likely are more similar to those under another person's arm than they are to the bacteria that live on your forearm.

Fleshing-living bacteria.

I wasn't really surprised that humans have large numbers of fungi and bacteria growing on them and in them. What I did find curious was the area behind the ear had the least growth. I wonder why that is. Is it the least exposed? Or is it a threat to the ears and the body excretes some sera?
