Bacterial Transfer During Handshakes
In a podcast episode, the host explores the transfer of bacteria during handshakes. The experiment involved two individuals shaking hands, and it was expected that there would be an exchange of microbes. However, the results showed that one person's bacteria completely failed to affect the other person, while the other person's bacteria successfully colonized the first person's hand and remained there for an extended period. The experiment sheds light on the complex dynamics of microbial transfer and colonization.
