paraphrased from the reddit comments:<p>››after washing your adult hands it would look no different (maybe more diverse)‹‹<p>edit: link to some pictures about it (but remember to keep your kids dirty :) it&#x27;s good for them <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;safesmokedfish.foodstandards.gov.scot&#x2F;assessment&#x2F;5126" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;safesmokedfish.foodstandards.gov.scot&#x2F;assessment&#x2F;5126</a><p>Nice detail: see the white big blob in the bottom left? It&#x27;s probably producing anti-biotics, keeping the other stuff at a distance (how did nobody see this earlier?)

I&#x27;m almost concerned to have this become a popular post. We have too many people already telling everyone to use hand sanitizer and all this nonsense.<p>Great picture though.

The bright orange ones might be staph. aureus. They&#x27;d need to be examined under a microscope to give a better idea of their identity than just the color.<p>There&#x27;s a difference between being merely colonised and being infected.
