From Birth, Our Microbes Become As Personal As A Fingerprint

I read an article that explains that microbes do a lot for your body and how you get them from your mother starting with the nine months in the womb. It also tells me that microbes love to live in wet places but that does not mean that all moist areas in our body shelter the same type of microbes. Microbes are so tiny but they do so much for our bodies. It is bring proven  ow that microbes are necessary to living.

The main message in the article is to show how much out body relies on microbes and that they live through out our whole body. Stein the author using examples about our bodies and also the whys of each example. This article talks about more finds and how now scientists truly believe that we absolutely need to live and keep us healthy. 

Microbes are so smart that they  know what to ignore in the body that is good for us. It is unbelievable that these things are so small and can help such a large and complex such as us. I was very interested to find out that microbes can be transferred from person to person. Are there other ways to transfer them besides breast feeding like through blood? The article also talks about how each persons microbe make up are different for everyone such as a finger print. Does this mean that we have different types of microbes all together or just different numbers of the microbes?

Making cheese with human skin microbes

Cheese created using the skin microbes of  humans

When I first saw the title of my article "Cheese created using the skin microbes of humans" I was a little grossed out. The article is about how there is cheese that has been made out of the skin microbes in humans but it also confirms that this type of cheese is not for eating but just for smelling. The main idea is just to tell us about how you can use any type of bacteria and microbes to make cheese even if it in not edible. There are not too many details in the article  it really just tells me that this I'd really just an experiment with making cheese and how it is usually made from bacteria from plants and animals. The article is very clear on letting us know about how this cheese is made from human skin microbes  and how it is defiantly not made for eating. It does confuse me that cheese is usually made from plants and animal bacteria and since scientists have discovered that we are not that different why is this one not a good idea to eat. I could see not many people wanting to try it but why is it not similar?  Is it because this cheese is made from skin instead of  bacteria?

FLC 609

This FLC class is a combined class. The two classes are Microbial Ecology and English 102. Having the classes combined together and having the same people in the classes will help us get to know each other better.
