The Germs Crawl in... The Germs Crawl Out...

A must read for any beginning microbiology student is the article 9 Questions You Were Too Grossed Out To Ask About the Bacteria Living On You by Susannah Locke for www.vox.com.

The nine questions include everything from is it OK that all of these bacteria live in and on my body to what is a microbiome and how can I have mine determined. With all of the news about normal flora and how they affect our physiology, I think these questions become much more important for students seeking careers in the health sciences.
