One, he wore a pair of jeans for 15 months, measured bacterial load, washed, wore 15 days, and swabbed again
Bacterial loads were the same
He didn't state what was the bacterial load on a NEW pair of jeans, or a routinely washed pair of jeans
The assumption you're making is that his washing method killed all the bacteria and he started all over again, which is why the bacterial load is the same. It's entirely possible to assume that his washing method was inadequate and few bacteria were killed/washed away
There are no controls in this experiment.
The second point is, he opened his suitcase and there was a smell of bacteria. This means he's been rubbing his dermis against live or dead bacteria that he has been growing in his jeans for 15 months. This probably isn't all that unhealthy, but neither is drinking urine. You're just reexposing yourself repeatedly to waste products in both situations.
I worked in medical research for nearly ten years, I'd toss a post doc out on his ass if he presented this work to me

the assumption would likely be quite accurate since normal cleaning processes used in a domestic enviroment aren't very effective in dealing with bacteria (I design hospitals, clean rooms, labs etc)
but it's just typical press - local lad experiments, press reports, readers buy paper - science wasn't really the theme

He should've thrown them in an open fire instead of the freezer…

read it on styleforum earlier – not too surprised by the results.
what bugs me is people liking APC and nudies and naked and famous, and never bothering to save and invest in IH
[/quote]cause those brands are hype.
…all i know is that there's only so much room for bacteria growth and food to feed on.

Apparently the tracking system the Belgian Post uses, is now more detailed… I just looked up the status of a package and it says
'Status Parcel put physically in Warehouse'
So some lad named Gerry placed the package on a shelf?.. Cool... Next update will probably read:
'Status Gerry's having a cuppa'

I once had Hermes deliver a 170 € record 3 doors over cause I wasn't home… Oh: same delivery company put a huge box (~20 kilograms and 500+ €) of records at my doorstep... In the rain... While I live in a busy hood...
My temp mailman did even better: placed a package with a knife (180 € worth) outside of my kitchen window behind a plant... I noticed it a day later whilst doing the dishes...
