our skin is our first external defence, providing a barrior between the bacteria and our bodies. Another defence is flem, the stuff that comes out when you blow your nose. it captures dirt and bacteria on it's way to the lungs and gets rid of them either by taking it down to the stomach and a nice acid bath, or your cough it up and get rid of it completly.\nan obvious internal defence is the antibodies and white blood cells of the immune system.

Well, I ask all my guests and friends to remove thier shoes when they enter my home, and I don't have light carpets nor am I Asian.  Now think about this... people spit on streets and sidewalks, drunks piddle, dogs poop, and babies puke... and everybody walks through it whether they realize it or not, then want to wear thier skinking shoes into my house??? Go ahead and wear your shoes in your house, working all that into your carpet. Then get down on the floor with your boyfriend or husband, crawl around on your hands an knees, and then touch and kiss, or eat your popcorn while watching t.v.... yum.

Body odour is released from bacteria that dwell on your skin.  - Bacteria are found on every part of your skin - no matter how hard you wash.

You need to figure out where they are getting it from and keep them away from that place until it has been eradicated.  Also if you are treating them every week, you are probably not getting rid of them completely.  You have to wash EVERYTHING in hot hot water.  They also make a spray for your matress'.  Spray the couches, beds, carpets, anything that can not be cleaned.  Make sure you wash coats, scarves, hats, EVERYTHING!  Are you seeing where I am going with this?  In this situation it is better to overreact than under react.  Good luck!

Ever watch "Myth Busters"??  They recently did a study on where bacteria lives in the common household.  Believe it or not, the toilet seat had the LEAST amount of bacteria.  Kitchen, of course, was number one.  If you're that worried about it, use the paper linings when you do your thing.

There's evidence that bacteria exists on Mars.  Bacteria exists in some of the most extreme environments here on earth, including the hottest/coldest/most acidic/etc. places, so I imagine that microorganisms at the very least exist on other planets.

Yes, bacteria cannot grow without the essentials they need.\n\nThese include food and water.  Your skin is always shedding cells, which are high in nutrients, so keeping feet dry stops bacterial and fungal growth.  \n\nWashing your feet eliminates some of the dead skin, and disrupts the microbes, removing some of them.  It will also keep your housemates happy!

yes, bacteria is everywhere, it is one of the most sucessful organisms in the universe, popuating everywhere. bacteria lives inside the mother, and in the womb so it is passed to offspring

Staph is a bacteria that naturally is on your skin (and even inside your body).   There are a number of reasons your Staph count could have increased to the point of being an infection.   The primary reason would be that you had a skin break (scratch or tear, etc.) inside your nose, and the bacteria multiplied there.\n\nBest of everything!

there is bacteria living on the surface of your skin, when you sweat the bacteria feed of the sweat and emit a gas that is the smell, so no bacteria means no smell, keep your feet clean and wear clean socks put baking soda or something in your shoes and you should be ok, if its really bad talk to your doc or something maybe he can prescribe something for stinkafootus!?!?!

It's not only the sauna, the Jacuzzi, and equipment, doors etc...are loaded with germs and bacteria.  I thought with the heat of the water in the Jacuzzi I was safe... that was so wrong and sauna samething. They love the incubator and multiplying I've learn to try to disinfect equipment and my work area.  I use hand sanitizer all the time too.  I will use alot of towels when it comes to sitting on anything.  And I make sure to shower and really clean my shower area before using it.  It's a pain, but I need the workout and I want myself to be safe and the person behind me too.
