Title: The Surprising Truth: Blowing Out Birthday Candles and Bacteria Blowing out birthday candles is a cherished tradition, but recent studies have revealed a somewhat less appetizing aspect. When we extinguish those candles, we inadvertently shower the cake with a burst of bacteria. Research has shown that this charming custom can increase the microbe count on the cake’s surface significantly. Studies conducted at Clemson University found that after blowing out candles, the bacterial count on the cake increased by up to 1,400 percent! While the overall health risk is minimal for most people, it serves as a reminder of the unseen world of microbes that surround us. So, next time you make a birthday wish, perhaps consider a designated blower, or have an extra slice, as the joy of celebration often outweighs the microscopic concerns that come with it. #birthday #happybirthday #love #party #cake #birthdaycake #birthdaygirl #wedding #birthdayparty #happy #anniversary #gift #i
