"One of the weirdest bacteria myths that had me completely captivated. I feel completely justified now in my dislike of air dryers no matter how good they may be for the environment, give me a paper towel any day! The hurricane testing felt a little unscientific as the dummy's couldn't 'hold on' but okay...."
💡 Did You Know?
Whoever told them soy was a good growth medium didn't know what they were talking about, or just lied to make them use the vegetarian option. Soy is only effective for particular bacteria, and in particular ways. Just switching soy for normal agar meant their results from testing for the amount of bacteria in public places, were meaningless. What they actually proved was that not all bacteria on humans will grow on soy protein gel.
