Question

Hypothesize how over-washing of hands can affect the population of ""good"" bacteria that resides on human skin.

Answer 1

Answer:

The human body inhabits various microbes, which coexist and does not cause any kind of harm, these bacteria are considered as good bacteria and are known as microbiota. Even the skin comprises various categories of bacteria, that is, more than 500 species. These microbes demonstrate skin microbiota, that is, an effective system of safeguarding, which takes place in immune defenses.  

The beauty of the skin is nearly associated with the balance of the microbes, which populate it, these are considered as the first line of defense from outside threats. When the bacterial ecosystem is differentiated and balance, the skin stays healthy.  

It has been hypothesized that over-washing of hands diminishes the population of good bacteria from the skin. As it is considered that over-washing extricates the majority of the beneficial bacterial cells from the human skin. Hence, may result in the loss of natural microflora from the section of the skin.
