Great post! I actually conducted research regarding staphylococcus epidermidis and it's effects when mutated. It's an extremely interesting bacteria! It's so common in the human flora but actually possess huge issues in clinical settings if appliances are not completely sterile since the bacteria can then become pathogenic. Looking forward to more posts from you! I really enjoyed reading this

Thanks for reading @alexipapa. I was truly fascinated by the idea that bacteria on our skin could potentially aid the healing of wounds, so i decided to read up on it, and truly the staph bacteria is extremely unique in nature.
My major qualms with the idea of skin bacteria and its potential is, how do we handle bathing and scrubbing the skin now, especially during hot baths? Lolz...
Are we no longer going to scrub, just so we can preserve skin bacteria? Its a crazy line of thought though.

Right! I totally agree with you. I think, obviously this is completely subjective, that we should try to deviate from the germophobic culture that has encapsulated this age. Hand sanitizer every 5 seconds for no reason. Obviously it's extremely important to wash your hands and hygiene cannot be stressed enough, however, there is something to be said about preparing your body for encounters with bacteria in order to strengthen your immune system. This also plays a role in adaptive immunity. Basically, don't be over the top with scrubbing every inch of your body multiple times a day because you do dry out your skin and you destroy potentially beneficial bacteria. Food for thought!
