(BBC) Scientists map the body's bacteria. Your mom alone required a team of Sherpas, a wing of the NIH Library, and the efforts of the entire National Geographic Society
ricewater_stool:Fun fact: you have 10 times more bacteria in and on your body than actual human cells.

Not so fun fact: After sleeping with 2 particular ex-girlfriends of mine, you would have 11 times more bacteria in and on your body than actual human cells.
Article fail. There was no map displayed. If they're gonna talk about a map of bacteria I wanna see a schematic diagram of the human skin with different colors, shapes and sizes of data points.
[The researchers] say that it might one day be possible to identify sites on the human body where transplants of specific microbes could benefit health.
I think we have just been introduced to the next big snake oil bonanza.
I'm not saying they're wrong; I'm just saying that years before they've finished sorting out the research, I'm going to walk into Whole Foods and see "beneficial bacteria swabs" designed for specific body parts.

No, but if someone doesn't move the Buick, we're going to need to call for a tow truck.

The box of said swabs will cite to this article.
