All humans have a "cootie cloud" surrounding them with millions of germs.

Well guess that antibacterial soap doesn't work after all

Thanks for the fyi

Weird to think that microscopic living organisms are colonizing some of your bodies.

Some of our bodies? We have more microbes in our body than human cells.

Our bodies are made up of more microbes than human cells, according to a study carried out by more than 200 researchers from 80 universities.

The finding is part of a five-year study headed up by the Human Microbiome Project. It revealed that, of the 100 trillion cells that make up a human body, around one in ten are actually microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. The results are being released in a series of reports in the journals Nature, Genome Biology and PLoS.

"The human we see in the mirror is made up of more microbes than human," summed-up the Human Microbiome Project leader Lita Proctor. A rather worrying statement, one might think, however these microbes play an important role in supporting and maintaining vital functions such as our immune and digestive systems. We can't process our food without protein-, lipid- and carbohydrate-breaking microbes present, and other microbes produce necessary vitamins and anti-inflammatories.
