The post below this one talks about the role of bacteria in the birth of bio-neuro circuitry, so naturally, I thought I’d follow up with another bacteria related story.

According to Sky News, a clothing manufacturer over in the UK has invented ‘Stinkless Underwear.’ The skivvies have silver thread woven in which apparently fights off the growth of odour causing bacteria and mold, allowing one to wear the garments for several days without washing them.

Even the oldest trick in the book for those concerned about causing a stench - turning underwear inside outside out before wearing it for a second day - is rendered unnecessary. Keith Byrne, marketing manager for North Face, told the Daily Mail: “The fact that they resist odour build-up is sure to appeal to blokes everywhere who may be slightly challenged in the washing machine department.”
