Are dogs' mouths really cleaner than humans'?
Jenna
Glendale, California
Dear Jenna:
All dogs lick themselves. Some eat their own feces. Humans (most of 'em, anyway) do not. So how in the world can the mouth of a canine be cleaner than that of a person? Simple -- it can't.
According to ABC News, this is basically an urban legend. However, unlike the one about the psycho killer with the hook, this story has a grain of truth. Although the mouth of a typical dog is full of bacteria, it's "species specific." So, if a dog were to lick a person, most of the germs wouldn't transfer. "Bottom line -- you're more likely to get a serious illness from kissing a person than kissing a dog."
The myth may have stemmed from the way pups lick their wounds. A dog's tongue gets rid of dead tissue so wounds heal faster. Perhaps folks concluded that dog saliva is "healthy." Hardly the case, but you shouldn't be afraid of licks. They might be gross, but they're not dangerous.
這是今天的報導~個人絕得很有趣~而且也是個學習英文的好機會

親愛的Jenny:
所有的狗都會舔他們自己,有一些會吃掉自己的臉(有點怪怪的)。至於人類呢(大部分的人)不會。所以我們怎麼知道狗的嘴會比人類的乾淨呢?很簡單~不可以
根據ABC 新聞, 這基本上是城市圖例。但是, 不同於那個關於精神分析的兇手與勾子, 這個故事有真相。雖然一條典型的狗的嘴是充分的細菌, 這是"種類具體。" 如此, 如果狗將舔人, 大多毒菌不會轉移。"底線-- 你吻人比你親狗得到病魔的可能度比較高。"
神話也講到狗舔他們的創傷的方式。狗的舌頭比較容易將死皮拿掉,因此創傷快速地癒合。或許人類認為狗唾液是"健康的。" 堅硬案件, 而是您不應該害怕舔。它們也許噁心, 但它們並不危險的。 |
