Eww! Your body is covered in bacteria. Your filthiest parts...

Some of our body parts are downright filthy. 

Here are some bacteria hot spots that you need to pay special grooming attention to:

• Tip of the nose. The ends of the nostrils are common for bacterial colonization. Don't ignore them. 

• Between the toes. This spot can be problematic for people who sweat a lot or who are active. Neglect these spots and you could be at risk for something more serious than athletes foot.

• Armpits. No surprise here, but certain harmful bacteria love the armpits and groin area, especially for people who live in tropical or warm climates.

• The scalp and other hairy spots. Areas with dense hair can harbor all sorts of cooties. You need to pay special attention to the follicles, not just the surface hair.
