10,000 germ species live in and on healthy people
 

Scientists have long known that the human body coexists with trillions of individual germs, what they call the microbiome. Until now, they've mostly studied those that cause disease: You may recall health officials saying about a third of the population carries Staphylococcus aureus harmlessly in their noses or on their skin but can infect others.

But no one knew all the types of microbes that live in healthy people or where, and what they do. Some 200 scientists from nearly 80 research institutions worked together for five years on this first-ever census to begin answering those questions by unraveling the DNA of these microbes, with some of the same methods used to decode human genetics. The results were published Wednesday in a series of reports in the journals Nature and the Public Library of Science. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories...06-13-16-10-39

So EaG must have about 500,000 germ species

You're not far off being as annoying as him. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/wink1.gif

What makes you say that then. Most of my posts or replies are usually innocent or actually trying to help people with problems but then I run into one of the many ***** on these forums and it turns into bickering. TBH if the people on these forums were not mainly ***** with serious human interaction problems, incapable of adult, normal discussion then I don't think I would be classed as "annoying" at all, it is mainly me responding to the other people on these forums tbh. On other forums that I post in I never have any arguements or any of this sillyness...

This post is a joke. No way you typed this with a straight face.

He needed to know.

You'd get more support if you went after him when he's posted in a thread, rather than being pre-emptive, which is seen as starting the bickering in a thread.

No it was not a joke... I usually try and help people but TBH I have stopped bothering anymore on this forum... I use it to read news that CrawL posts and occasionally someone else... Well done to Crawl for the constructive posts BTW....

Well done to everyone who makes good posts and acts like an adult on these forums and tries to make them freindly and informative like they used to be 5 years ago... Shame on everyone else such as EaG/freelancer etc.

Way to go off-topic and whine like a child. That s**t belongs in facebook not here. If it bothers you that much why do you still come here?

Also, the bolded portion above is ridiculous and clear evidence of your trolling.

Ok then Eag/freelancer whatever you say.

As I said I use it to read the news and used to try and help people but I have given up bothering now. People like you have made this forum a bad place, it used to be good a few years ago.

Anyway I do not want to continue speaking to imbeciles like you so please just be quiet and go about your miserable existance without speaking to me ever again thanks.

No, it has always been the same. You are just upset that someone called you out on your bulls**t and now you are trying to save face.

As I said I do not want to bicker with little losers like EaG/freelancer so I am not going to respond to any more of the posts in this thread. It has not always been the same at all, it used to be good before you ***** came along.

Cool cool, but why do you feel the need to restate it?

I think you all should stfu.

Again as I just said I am not restating anything I am responding to the bickering. Cannot see that I am not repeating myself I am responding to the comments?

We can't post R&P but the content of this thread (not including the O/P) is OK?
Really?

Stop repeating yourself; you are starting to sound like a broken record.

Yet you bring nothing of quality to this thread, but more bitching. Use your report/ignore function if it bothers you.

Everyone knows that you and EaG are the same person so just zip it.

Haha, I thought you weren't going to get involved in the bickering? Just because someone made you look the fool doesn't mean you can go around throwing baseless accusations. You are exactly what is wrong with this forum.

Nobody made me look a fool. No you are what is wrong with the forum, I am merely responding to you. Anyone who is civil and capable of adult conversation, I get along with just fine. Anyway I am not continuing this any further.

Yeah, we all believe that one. Way to derail Acupuncture's thread; he had a perfectly good thread, and you s**t all over it.
