Had to check it wasn't April 1 with this story

Washing hands with yoghurt might help to stem the spread of MRSA in hospitals, a specialist said yesterday. Prof Mark Spigelman, of the centre for infectious disease at University College London, said thorough washing with ordinary soap and then dipping the hands into a solution that contains good bacteria, such as that found in yoghurt, might have advantages. He said washing hands in antiseptics could be killing good bacteria, leaving space for MRSA to settle. Dipping hands into a solution containing harmless strains could prevent pathogenic bacteria as "they do not generally grow on top of each other".
