The microbes have it!

Did you know …

That there are more cells inside your body that aren’t you than there are cells that are you? It’s true!

Let me explain! Each of the cells that make up your body, of course, carries your DNA. But our bodies are also home to trillions of single-celled organisms that are not related to us in any way. It’s like your body is some kinda country for germs. And your guts are probably the germ capital. Germs love your guts!

Anyway, this is why it’s important to always act like someone is watching you, because you are in fact being monitored by countless microscopic bugs or whatever. And if you were ever to do something to upset them … oh, man.

Also, come to think of it, if you’ve just had a big meal of lettuce, or dog, or chicken, or anything else that has its own cells, that would further tip the scale of you cells to non-you cells. I mean, those eaten cells would all be dead, but dog meat is made of cells nonetheless and they would all be in your body. If we’re being precise. We have to be precise in science.
