Poof? Silicone body scrubber?
Been seeing a lot of ads for silicone body scrubbers. Manscaped for one. Been using a mesh poof. No problems but been reading they can harbor bacteria. Switch? Or stay with the poof since no problem ? Sure it sags a bit but been going on a year with it
Re: Poof? Silicone body scrubber?
If a poof harbours bacteria, they will, at least, be your bacteria. Far more will live in a soggy flannel or a sponge, and we all managed to survive them!
That's just a marketing argument, and should be ignored.

What about Serratia marcescens, that pink not-actually-a-mold found in showers? (Which I attack with a bleach-based spray.)

We have all sorts of delightful pathogens that live upon us. The trick is to get accustomed to them and to fighting them off. Trying to kill all of them is generally futile, and worst of all, when you manage, sort of, you get other issues that were unintended. See the hygiene hypothesis for asthma etc.

Is that why nut allergies rose so sharply? As a kid we all loved peanut butter - today I have been on flights where peanuts were left behind because a passenger had an allergy.

Bingo! That's the theory, Gene.
