Though invisible to the naked eye, your skin is covered in microbes! Skin bacteria get nutrients like sugars, vitamins and amino acids from many materials found in skin. They also release many compounds, some of which can contribute to our health. Skin bacteria eat up things like:

• Oil
• Dead skin
• Sweat

Skin bacteria spit out things like:

• Acid. Some bacteria emit acids, making skin uninviting to many other microbes. 
  
• Antibiotics. Antibiotics are compounds that kill microbes, and bacteria release them naturally to defend themselves. We borrow some of these compounds to protect our own health.
  
• CO2. Many kinds of skin bacteria release carbon dioxide, which can slow down the growth of fungus. 
  

Learn more about the microbiome of your skin in the new exhibition, The Secret World Inside You, now open at the Museum.
