Your body is home to trillions of microorganisms: living things too small to see without a microscope. Meet Your Bacteria introduces you to all of your tiny tenants, and reveals the fascinating inner workings of your body, and the importance of these usually helpful (but sometimes harmful) microbes.
Highly topical and accessible, this book:
- Explores the different bacteria that live on and in various parts of your body (not just in the gut)
- Explains what they do, and why some are beneficial and some harmful
- Offers practical advice for promoting the good and inhibiting the bad bacteria
- Examines the latest thinking on good and bad dirt, and the links between bacteria and disease
Including in-depth profiles on each of the most important families of bacteria living in the human body, and helpful advice on how you can look after your own health through greater knowledge of your microbial friends, this is a wide-ranging introduction to the secret world inside your own body

You are so popular, you have trillions of friends. Well, friends could be a stretch, they live on you. And probably feed from you. But I am sure they love you nonetheless, and I think it is time for you to meet them. This is the book just for that, telling you about their discovery and how you can better take care of them to improve your health. I mean, you are more them than you are you after all - Zachary (QBD)
