Human Bacteria Colonies

[Greymist]

So I read an interesting article today, below, about humans being colonized by bacteria, and the benefits it has, also about how we've been washing off these bacteria in the name of cleanliness.

And the reason I mention it in this forum, is the species mentioned in Subjugation who had a symbiotic relationship with the bacteria in their homeworld.

And what about those humans who are born off planet? While Rann is only half human what about any full blooded humans born on a non human planet? Karis has some Earth fauna and flora but Draconis and the other planets of the Imperium aren't mentioned having any on a large scale to my knowledge.

That said the Fey/human compatibility means that some of those microbes can probably help both species. Perhaps some of the Earth ones came from the Karinnes?

Oh well.., here goes nothing !!

Was going through youtube, and came across a video which reminded me of this topic. If we are talking about bacterial colony in human, then this is also relevant.
