      different germs on our hands

 Look closely at your hands--are they clean? It doesn't matter how many times you wash your hands, they're still crowded with microbes, which are also called "germs" or "bacteria". Microbes are everywhere. But don't worry--most microbes don't harm you, and many actually help you stay alive.

Now, scientists say the microbes that live on our hands could be useful in a surprising way: fighting crime.

When police visit the scene of a crime, they often look for fingerprints to try to identify the criminal. But according to a recent study, investigators could even use microbes to help break a criminal case.

Every person has his or her own set of microbes that live on their hands, according to scientists at the University of Colorado. That means the mix of different kinds of microbes on everybody's hand is unique -- much like one's fingerprint.

The scientists wanted to know whether this microbe mix could be used as a new kind of fingerprint -- especially in a crime scene where fingerprints might be hard to find. And policemen use forensics such as studying fingerprints to identify the criminal.

 “Microbe fingerprints are harder to hide,” said Noah Fierer, one of the scientists. “You can't sterilize a surface just by wiping it off.”
