Guys are you thinking about growing a beard? Ladies, have you been giving the man in your life a hard time for having a beard? There is some scientific reasons as to why beards maybe a good thing. There are some scientists that now say men's beards could help develop new antibiotics that can kill so-called "superbugs." Thinking twice about calling someone "Fuzz Face?"

British researchers conducting a separate study found at least 100 types of bacteria growing in test subjects' beards. They say those bacteria could kill harmful bacteria. Superbugs is the name given to bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics already being used. Researchers estimate that resistance to antibiotics could kill 10-million more people and cost up to 100-trillion dollars by 2050 unless "superbugs" are brought under control.

While researchers are hopeful, they are saying to be patient, as it does take time to create and test all new antibiotics.
