loll

From 60 belly buttons, the team found 2,368 bacterial species, 1,458 of which may be new to science.

Some belly buttons harbored as few as 29 species and some as many as 107, although most had around 67. Ninety-two percent of the bacteria types showed up on fewer than 10 percent of subjects—in fact, most of the time, they appeared in only a single subject.

One science writer, for instance, apparently harbored a bacterium that had previously been found only in soil from Japan—where he has never been.

Another, more fragrant Read: [Smelly] individual, who hadn't washed in several years, hosted two species of so-called extremophile bacteria that typically thrive in ice caps and thermal vents.

ALSO, did you know that the bacteria found in bellies can be cultured into cheeses? (Not edible of course but who knows, I'm sure someone tried it, and liked it.)






Finally, Are you an Innie? Or an outtie?

I'd picture samples, but some people might complain.

Post pictures please!

An oday told us a story, eer, berigi somalia, when there was no lighting nin ba ku khaldamay his wifes bellybutton.

LOLL what in the hell kind of story is that lmaoooo

SA, not pictures of mine..

Are you asking us this, really, girl you must be super bored, serious.

lolllll

I know Julz. Science is miraculous. Disgusting sometimes, but very interesting!

I wonder how dirty these individuals were. The article did say they had samples (people) who had as few as 29 types of bacteria. So as clean as you are, you are still harboring many species of bacteria in your little button.

Adali, I found the article while clicking aroung NatGeo, so Yes, I am a bit bored. I should be working to be honest hehehe

mine is inside

Ditto - being an 'innie'.

Apparently 90% of the world shares being an Innie. Did you know being an 'outtie' simply means that your umbilical cord was not cut correctly, and the protruding skin is simply left over tissue from the cord, hence the reason for the low percentage of 'outies'.

Innie.. yikes at outtie chick's piercing the belly button lol

lol I know..I googled it, hideous.

Every month or so I use a a cotton bud dipped in anti septic solution to clean it out.

Bravo. That probably takes you down to about 20. I wonder how clean it can actually be though? Mind you, some bacterias are good for your skin.

Wheres the pics ?

First it was the hair.
then it was an eye.
Then came the half shown face.

Now we down south and just pulled up to belly-button vill.

I wonder what will be next...
