You are more Microbe than Human

• "You're more microbe than human - if you count all the cells in your body, only 43% are human"

Probiotics labelled 'quite useless'

I think I've noticed this on occasion.

The amounts seem to vary according to source, and does not define actual cell mass or function. Since lots of those bacteria are what makes me human, I'd just say those are part of me. But what is a human anyway?

You're a very interesting mass of cells.

Dang...I was just getting used to being called a "carbon-unit".

If I'm that many life forms, shouldn't I get more than one vote?

 

[Misery]

But what is a human anyway?

A walking zoo that also has a face, apparently. And is also frequently freaked out by tiny insects, which seems silly in the face of this particular fact.

Well i am not (normal) human (sentient cat lol?) because i am not afraid of most insects, except those who leave nasty itchy week long swollen spots
