The Age of Microbes
Did you know that 90 percent of our cells are made up of something called microbes? Microbes are single celled organisms that are found everywhere. Bacteria are a type of microbe. As you may have guessed there are microbes that are good for us and others that are bad.
Most of the ones that makeup our body are considered mutualistic. This means that they benefit us, and we benefit them. It is so strange to think about tiny one celled organisms accompanying us everywhere and affecting so much of what we breathe, eat, and do on Earth.
