^ save for the nudies, it was an enjoyable read. simple, to the point, ehh, its a good starter article for someone interested in what we all do. but by no means really informative. thanks for posting the link.

true that, interesting stuff indeed!

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

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 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 . . .
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
