Re: kombucha 101 thread!
i've actually read that handling the scoby is beneficial. the scoby gets the bacteria that is on your skin (that we all carry naturally on us) and adapts itself to it. so like it can actually sense bad bacteria that is harmful to the scoby and make extra good bacteria to counteract it, and it senses the good bacteria and incorporates that. i will have to see if i can find some links

How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?How long will you hide your face from me? 2 How long must I take counsel in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?....because I am shaken. 5 But I have trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. 6 I will sing to the Lord,
because he has dealt bountifully with me.
