Ever wondered which thrift section needs a little extra TLC? Research shows male clothing, particularly jeans, top the list for dirtiest finds. #thrifting

Cotton > Polyester and Nylon workout clothes Why? Polyester + nylon, as used by Alo and Lululemon, offer durability but trap sweat and bacteria, leading to stronger post-workout odor. Opt for cotton with moisture-wicking abilities to stay odor-free, reducing bacterial growth.

Turns out, sweat is odorless. It's the bacteria on your skin that mixes with sweat, creating that distinct smell. Wondering about your unique scent? Try the Body Odor at-home microbiome kit from Parallel (parallelhealth.io).

Before buying that thrifted jacket or jeans from the #MelroseTradingPost or Goodwill, consider this: 22 out of 800 second-hand clothes (2.7%) were contaminated with parasites, including Pediculusspp. and S. scabiei, which can lead to pediculosis and scabies. #beware #thrifting

#DidYouKnow the word "bacteriophage" comes from the Greek word "phagein" meaning to eat, suggesting that phages swallow up bacteria. Although it is a great image, the reality is even more remarkable: phages inject bacteria with genetic material that ultimately destroys them #TIL

Most people see animated and fancy images of phages, but this is what a phage really looks like. This is an image from a transmission electron microscope.

What is the most abundant microbe on your face? From our data, we commonly see overgrowths of C. acnes, S. aureus, Streptococcus, Malessezia, Corynebacterium, and many more. Many of these overgrowths can be controlled with precision phages, a natural alternative to antibiotics.

Just became a cat parent! 🐾 Did you know that your pets can influence your skin microbiome? Interacting with pets introduces new microbes to your environment, and these microbes can colonize your skin! parallelhealth.io/blogs/para… #skinmicrobiome #cats #catlovers #catsoftwitter

Antibacterial resistance of C. acnes (bacteria linked to acne) is increasing. @urtrueparallel has created a Custom Active Phage Serum that is non-antibiotic and completely personalized to your skin microbiome. Phages are natural with no harmful side effects, unlike antibiotics!

Do you ever think about about a parallel world on your face? It’s full of microbes good and bad, where the bad sometimes outweigh the good. Phage can help with that. Checkout this article which helps illustrate the microbiome battle with pictures nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
