Bacteria can be found everywhere... EVERYWHERE! Some are good and helpful, others are bad and harmful. Did you know that you can find as many as 3,000 (if not more) bacteria on your hands solely? Did you know that you can find as many as 150 different types of bacteria on one person't hand? Did you also know that every one of us has a unique bacterial "fingerprint"? [source: colorado.edu]

Now that winter infections and flu cases are on the increase, it's good to stay safe and not miss out on thorough hand washing. I know you may love those tiny fellows keeping you company on the cold days of winter, but I think you could live without some of them.
