My previous post mentioned about an article about differences in microbes diversity on male and female palm. Interestingly, no comment in this post. I think most probably this article really annoy my female friends, as they put so many cosmetic, take care their hands well, but how come still dirtier than male couterpart.....Really "paiseh" and sorry..haha..
As I promise, the literature about this study..Here you go:-

Probably male skin are naturally more acidic than female skin. haha. XD
or maybe the male skin is thicker than female, and the microbe don't like to stay there.
frankly say, i didn't read at the article, so I don't know the reasons behind..Anyway, I believe like microbes like human (just like we all love leng lui), so microbes also perfer to colonise at female skin..haha..my "rubbish" opinions..
