Kissing just got a whole lot less romantic–at least for germaphobes.
A new study shows that a single French kiss can transfer up to 80 million bacteria from one person to another.
For the study, 21 couples visiting a zoo in Amsterdam were asked to lock lips for 10 seconds. Before the kiss, one member of each couple drank a yogurt drink containing specific strains of bacteria. After the kiss, the researchers swabbed the mouth of the partner who hadn’t drunk the yogurt, and then did a bacterial count of the strains from the yogurt to arrive at the 80 million figure.

First kisses are awkward. And scary. And uncomfortable. And if you’re lucky, it can be romantic enough to make your knees wobble.
Los Angeles-based filmmaker Tatia PIlieva, along with Wren Studio, managed to capture those heart-stopping and breathtaking moments by asking 20 strangers to kiss for the first time on camera. The result is a candid look at love, romance and chemistry.
The first few moments feel awkward, as they make small talk: “What’s your name again?” “Can we turn off the lights?” “You have nice eyes.” “It’s actually pretty scary.” But then, like longtime lovers, each pair goes in for the kill — and somehow, everything works out. Actually, it’s pretty sweet.
