A news crew in New Mexico swabbed beards to find out just how filthy they are, and to nobody's surprise, they are full of the same germs you would find in feces.

Think about it, your food, beer, smoke and everything else falls into your beard. It's like  a fluffy filter for all of the germs in the air.

To be fair, 'poop particles' are found everywhere. Your toothbrush, your cell phone, door handles. So frenching some dude with a stinky beard won't get you sick, but you might want to bring a Clorox wipe or Lysol just to be safe.
