I hate to break it to you, but most of the cells in your body ARE bacteria, and you couldn’t survive without them.

Virtually all of my cells are highly modified and adapted amoeba ~ I pick bacteria out of my nose and flip it across the room ~ on the other hand, there are several times my own number of cells clinging to my body in a huge varigated bacterial mat.

Without them we can't even grow our intestines correctly.

Right! I am made up of lots of bacteria. While some apparently ignorant bacteria lingers in germ form, mine has managed to gather together to do a whole lot of magnificent things!
