Because let's be real, from like those millions, billions of bacteria that are out there, very few make us sick.
With viruses, it's the same thing.
Each time we breathe, we'll breathe in hundreds, thousands of viruses, and they won't do anything to us because they just really don't care to infect us.
To get the full picture, you would have to say they must have other jobs, and it can't be their main job to make us sick.
And really, it isn't.
And when you look at bacteria, their main job, numerically speaking, just mathematically, is really borrowing some of their unique features, like giving them to us,
for free in you know exchange for maybe living on us for a couple of minutes hours or years and that is a nice thing because we can interchange them like a cloak as i said if we go to another country and there's suddenly a weird new food that we're eating oftentimes on that food sitting ready to digest some of the fiber or particles are already bacteria and while we digest we keep them as for as long as we need them and when we go back to our country then you know
After a while, they're gone because we don't need them anymore.
And this happens also on the skin where there's bacteria and microbes that will produce antibiotics that will then fight other bacteria trying to get into their space.
So this is what I mean by clock.
We have all these microbes sitting us and micromanaging our surfaces.
I love hearing you talk about that.
To what extent is that just randomly happening?
And to what extent is our immune system sort of actively managing this?
The immune system is definitely there to pull some strings, I'd say.
And I love this one paper where they had people put their hands into a jar of bacteria.
I think it was E. coli that they put their hands in.
And of course, then the hand is full of bacteria.
And then they retest after a while and they see that most of the bacteria are gone.
And this is also because, well, the skin bacteria and then our immune system and cells producing antibacterial substances.
