---More than half of our body is not human! Yes, you heard that right. Human cells make up only 43% of the total number of cells in our body. The rest of us are microbes.You have about this many germs on you right now. Around 1.5 kg… That is, about the size of our brain. Since they are much smaller than human cells, they take up little space, but there are trillions of single-celled creatures here. As I said, they are more numerous than human cells.Don't be saying “How filthy we are!”. When people think of microbes, they immediately think of creatures associated with filth that make us sick. However, most of the microbes inside and on us are not like that. Some of them are so important that we can not exist without them. Recent researchs show that what makes us who we are, affects our behavior and shapes our bodies is these microscopic creatures, as well as our brains.We can not be ourselves without them. We are all half microbes.I know it is a hard subject to digest, but right now even when I'm touching my forehead at the same time I’m touching some arthropods there. If I take a “selfie” with a microscope rather than a camera, I would see something like this. These creatures, called mites, feed on skin dust and particles. With their tiny legs and tails, they are walking around, having fun, moving, getting together, giving birth to new babies while you sleep. Everyone has them on their face, and their skin. They cannot be seen with the naked eye, but the largest ones can be up to one-tenth of a millimeter-that is, the thickness of a hair strand.These are relatively large creatures above us. And then there are the tiny creatures inside of us. If we take our mouth as the entry point, we have a long hole that starts from there, and you know the exit point of this hole. Here you can imagine this entire region as a zoo. They have created a complex ecosystem within ourselves. This is called the "microbiome".Let's think about it on a planetary scale, as these can be difficult to understand because they are so small. After all, a planet is like an organism or an ecosystem. For example, when we look around there are all kinds of living things, plants and animals around us. We can see them and thus distinguish them from each other.If you can enlarge yourself to the size of a planet, it would not be so easy to distinguish the living things within you. For example, bacteria can be round, spiral or rod-shaped. We are not even aware of them, but they help us digest the food we eat. Or they enable us to fight dangerous bacteria and viruses that enter our body.So where do they come from? We take these bacteria into us from birth, right from the mother's womb. The largest dose is passed from mother to baby as it exits the birth canal. Of course, only in natural births. As we grow up, we constantly take these bacteria from the environment around us, from other people, animals and living things we interact with, and we develop the collection within us.
