A new study finds men with beards carry more germs than dogs.

Researchers tested the facial hair of men and dog fur from various breeds.

They found a significantly higher bacterial load in the men's beards, compared with the dogs' fur.

Some of the men tested positive for microbes that actually posed a threat to human health.

Experts say men should shampoo their beards regularly.
