Microbiological laboratory hazard of bearded men
“An investigation was conducted to evaluate the hypothesis that a bearded man subjects his family and friends to risk of infection if his beard is contaminated by infectious microorganisms while he is working in a microbiological laboratory.”

Our level three micro labs require men to be clean shaven so that the n95 respirators will seal properly. Never considered a beard as a walking culture place, but that could be bad too.
