Sock Farting…A New Trend? Bamboo, Cotton and Hemp Sock Experiments on Odor Protection

Did you know that your sweat doesn’t give off odor? It’s actually tiny bacteria, who eat your sweat and release the stinky smell.

Welcome to the next video of the Zen Healing Sock Series where today we will be testing out which sock grows less bacteria: cotton or bamboo. We will be taking a look at four different types of bacteria: Staphylococcus Aureus, Staphylococcus Epidermidis, E. Coli, and Candida Albicans.

To conduct our experiment, I ran around in my soccer practice with the two socks to get them sweaty. After that we swabbed each sock and placed the swab around agar dishes. (We did a special bonus one too!) Then, we let them grow for 3 days. The results were crazy…
