Bacteria just got more fascinating

Never knew so much existed. I'm rather fascinating in it and how it helps out in keeping us healthy while having an intimate bond with us doing things for us or to us that we aren't even aware of!

Also, apparently each of us brings 37 million bacteria in the air every hour.

Germaphobes be very afraid. Even if your fear is largely irrational.

Ya, bacteria are so symbiotic to us it's not even funny.

Wow! Such amazing creatures! That squid is highly intelligent in that it knows how to hide it's own shadow down to an exact science! Using other organism to help even!

It's amazing how intelligent other species are that we as humans tend to overlook and see as inferior.

Also that's an amazing break through for medical science and infectious diseases. Very good listen.
