I feel like dating inevitably involves exchanging bacteria to some extent.

Question

The bacteria on our skin through physical contact, the bacteria in our mouths through kissing, and, well… down there too. I assume the types and amounts of normal flora differ depending on age, but sometimes I worry that being exposed to bacteria from an older person might somehow accelerate aging. Exchanging bacteria between someone in their twenties and someone in their sixties might have benefits for the person in their sixties, but would it have any benefits for me?

Answer 1

While your child is still little, don’t feed them food that a parent has already eaten from—the bacteria that cause cavities can be transmitted that way. Always use serving chopsticks when dishing out food. We’ve been careful about this, and even though my 20-year-old daughter is pretty careless about brushing her teeth, she hasn’t had a single cavity.

Answer 2

I’m Kazu, a male member. It’s true that newborns apparently have fewer resident bacteria. But I don’t think there’s any difference between being 20 and 60 years old. If it really accelerated aging, parents wouldn’t touch their babies, and they wouldn’t let their grandchildren touch them either.
