Your body isn’t fully “you.

[algerianmogger]

Right now, more than half the cells inside your body are not human at all they’re bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms living in your gut, skin, mouth, and everywhere else.
These organisms:
help you digest food
control parts of your immune system
influence your mood
even affect your decision-making through chemicals they release

Humans are a walking ecosystem. Were not oneself. Each one of us is a colony

Your body lets them live inside you because it benefits from them
It’s a biological alliance
You’re the “host,” but without your guests, the host dies
