Reply to comment by AmbitionSpecialist in TIL Why Dog Paws Smell Like Fritos. Even the cleanest, healthiest pooch has trillions of bacteria and fungi living on their skin. That yeasty, corn chip smell is actually a normal byproduct of harmless bacteria, usually Proteus or Pseudomonas, both of which are naturally present in our environment. by Rossknight65

Pseudomonas is interesting. It can cause some serious infections. Can be resistant to a lot of antibiotics. Can be associated with hot tubs. If you get a rash after going hot tub, it’s probably pseudomonas. Hot tub follicular is.

Pseudomonas can be a bitch to get rid of once it’s in the wrong spot. It’s a tough bug and can take a longer than normal course of antibiotics. Definitely not harmless.
