Bacteria may be one of the grossest things to even think or talk about. Sadly, these microorganisms are looked upon with disgust. Of course there are the bad ones and there are those who are heroes in disguise.
Did you know your body is a habitat? It houses an entire ecosystem of interacting microorganisms that form your own personal microbiome, your own unique set of bacteria.
This book looks at how your bacteria behave, how they benefit you (or otherwise) and how you can encourage the good to stay and the bad to depart.
It examines their role in key areas of the body: the skin, eyes, mouth, lungs, gut and the urogenital system. Learn how to promote the good bacteria on and inside you and combat the harmful ones.
This book also offers a trip into an incredible, invincible world, whose crucial significance we are only just beginning to understand. It holds up a microscope to the human microbiome and its fascinating workings.
Fully illustrated with vivid colours and diagrams, this book was absolutely an interesting read. I was intrigued by such a misunderstood subject and I have more respect for these microbes.
