Well, since I have already lost my primary sentience already, no great loss. Alternatively, we could all save our stools as backup. I even think I saw that once, on the Hoarders Show. Bring on the ampicillin!

Quick question -- wouldn't you literally lose your bio-engineered microbiotic 2nd mind when you take penicillin? Disadvantage- If you got an upset stomach you could crap your brains out, literally.

Nice. Yes bacteria are quite useful, and too much hygiene can be bad by hurting our micro-allies. I read that the average human has ten kilogram of bacteria, and would die if they were not there. There are 20 times more bacteria cells than human cells in a human. A human cells is very plausibly a descendent of a colony of bacteria (with the nucleus being perhaps a descendent of a virus). No life (form) is an island! Nor is a number among the numbers ... :) Bruno Gut bacteria are protected by host during illness Gut bacteria are protected by host during illness To protect their gut microbes during illness, sick mice produce specialized sugars in the gut that feed their microbiota and maintain a healthy microbial balance.
