And you thought virus could spread from person to person . .
They call us “home”
our microbiome.
Our body spews
a cloud no one can see
Bacteria, viruses, fungi
intermingling you and me
Releasing microbes in the air
from head to toe where ever we go
Because they’re here to stay
Don’t waste your money
on bug spray
“Each of us carries around millions of microorganisms – including bacteria, fungi and viruses — on the inner and outer surfaces of our bodies. Most of them aren’t dangerous. In fact, growing evidence indicates that they help us in lots of ways. Scientists call this collection of organisms our microbiome.”
‘”A lot of the recent work on the human microbiome has revealed that we’re kind of spilling our microbial companions all over our houses and our offices and the people around us.”
“. . . the findings raise a number of possibilities, including, maybe, one day being able to identify a criminal by analyzing the microbial cloud he or she leaves behind at the scene.”
“We know that if you live with people, and even if you just work with people, your microbial communities come to resemble theirs over time, . . . And in the past we used to think that was due to touch. It may be just that you’re releasing microbes into the air and some of those microbes are colonizing the people you’re with.”
MASK UP!

So if I’m coming and going, I’ll be meeting my own gaseous self I was trying to escape. I’m going to shower now. I guess I don’t have to invite you in – you’ll be coming with me anyway.

We really are connected with our friends–and co-workers, and family. And I have to wonder about the dog and the cat??Freddie may be part of me, and Judy!

Maybe that’s the aura some people can see. Hmm…

Yes, maybe that is what it is! I can’t see auras myself, but I wouldn’t put it past Freddie!

Dear Meowie,
As you very well know – since you are a Feline-cat – we don’t need auras or micro biomes to see through human-beings.
Frankly,
Freddie Parker Westerfield, Canind-dog
