Reply to comment by DoctorStrangeMD in TIL Why Dog Paws Smell Like Fritos. Even the cleanest, healthiest pooch has trillions of bacteria and fungi living on their skin.

Can confirm. Have been infected by staphylococcus. Was told by my doctor everyone has it on their skin but not everyone gets infected by it, just the lucky ones!
