You are outnumbered! At least that's what I was reading in my newspaper this morning.
Did you know that according to recent scientific research coordinated by Jeffrey Gordon of Washington University of Medicine in St. Louis, very little of what is in your body is you? In fact only one out of every ten cells in the human body is actually human. The rest are germs, primarily bacteria which "cover the skin and inhabit every orifice."
You may read more about this intriguing study in the journal NATURE. I'd prefer not to. I already feel ill enough.
