how much dna is in your house

the_pen_turner

hi there

the thread about alibis made me think about this
in movies and crime shows they go into a crime scene and pick up a hair or a fingerprint and it leads them to the perpetrator

we all try to keep our houses clean but if a csi team gave it the once over im sure they would have thousands of hairs and dna samples to go through.


what do you think they would find if your house was a crime scene

About 7. Maybe 7 and a half at the moment because, honestly, the stairs are in need of a hoover.

I just hope they won't use one of those black lights that reveals bodily fluids

Wouldn't say we'd have more than 5 dnas we clean weekly with hoover

Depends on the crime. Usually they get called in for murders so they would probably find a dead body or two.

I'm fairly sure the missus clears up all the DNA each week. God knows she makes enough of a racket doing it.

I left most of my dna on some guys wife around 01:59 the other night.

Banned for 1 day.

Get out.

With a cat, a dog in heat and 3 single 20 something's I'd say there could be a bit around.

They can search the house as much as they want, so long as they don't go looking at that old sock in my wash basket.

A massive great big lump of it scientifically referred to as A body?

Sorry, what type of crime are we talking of?

And can I move my body while they search?
And feed it tea and biscuits?

Interesting project on that very topic at the Freud museum in London.

Too many words, not enough pictures. What kind of fancy stew are you? Any eejit up at this time of night is only interested in visual stimulation

I love you really Enda

Just for you. Visual stimulation.

I'm just looking at my handbag. I bring it everywhere, put it down lots of places, then put it down all over my house. Not on tables, but definitely floors, chairs.

My wheelie suitcase regularly travels on trains and then into my house.

My son attends a creche where he interacts with numerous other children and no doubt some bodily fluids get exchanged, and then he comes back to my house.

I have a subtenant, I don't know much about him, he doesn't bring anyone home but he works with people and doubtless picks up some stray hairs or whatever along the way.

I'm the person who spends the vast majority of time in my house, and I'm sure I'd be easily identifiable from my hairbrush/toothbrush/whatever. But, while I keep my house clean, I can't even imagine how many peoples' DNA could potentially be found here at any one time! Especially since it's a rented house.

I hope he's not in the same creche as my little Princess.

I don't doubt there is plenty of DNA floating around your little Princess's creche also.

It was more the exchanging of bodily fluids that was a concern.

Kids drool. Maybe your Princess doesn't, but I doubt she hasn't been in contact with a toy that another child hasn't drooled or snotted over.

That wouldn't be exchanging bodily fluids now would it.

Child A drools on toy.

Child B sucks toy, thus getting saliva on it, and also ingesting Child A's saliva.

Never mind things like grabbing each others food off each other etc.

Why do you think childhood diseases like chicken pox, FMH etc are so rampant in creches? They are hardly sterile environments! It's normal, it's not a bad thing, it's all part of building their immune systems.

An exchange is generally understood to be two concurrent actions of giving / receiving.
Body fluids are commonly known to be more "adult" than snot.

To say that kids exchange bodily fluids at creche is a poor use of terminology which originally lead to my joking response.

But time has come to end this tedious exchange. Yes, there are lots of germs in creches.

Sending the CSI to the person's house to prove they were in it is completely pointless. They'll find tons of your DNA all over the place, as they'd expect to in the house you live in.

Shrap

I have two teenage boys. Any CSI team worth their salt would find a number of new lifeforms growing in the darkest recesses of their rooms, most likely originally a sock but with added intelligence. Maybe legs too. It is also possible that if they caught me on a bad day, there would be a new lifeform somewhere in the back of my fridge.

I'd imagine under the right sort of light the laptop would be literally glowing with DNA.

I don't think my house has DNA. Not unless it actually is held together with spit and newspaper, as uncovered repairs by the former owner seems to indicate.
