Body bacteria

It is interesting to consider how many bacteria are on the outside and inside your body as part of the way we live.  As an impromptu investigation, samples of my fingertips, between my toes and swaps from inside my cheeks were taken and then grown in blood media.  The cultures were incubated overnight and then reviewed.  Megan assured me that all the bacteria growing were ones that you could expect to find.


No nasty surprises - just a surprising amount of bacterial growth
There seems to be a certain likeness here.
