Agree:
>>Your gut microbiome is incredibly complex and one of the least understood yet most important aspects of human health. <<
What most posters don’t seem to get is the article is saying is that a persons microbiome is transferable to a healthy spouse or another non-blood related person. I finder that possible but chilling at the same time. Will people with Rheumatic diseases be isolated? How about heart disease or diabetes.
Massive numbers of people from other parts of the world are migrating both legally and illegally into the country every year with almost no health screening at all. So I doubt that any attempts will be made to isolate people with diseases that are currently considered to be not contagious for a long time.
One time I was attending to a person with poor English skills who kept coughing in my face while he was trying to communicate something to me. I finally realized that he was pulling me close and saying “tee .... bee”. After that experience I was tested several times for tuberculosis and had less difficulty remembering to wear my protective gear.
