IT’S PROBABLY NOT a good idea to take too personal an interest in your microbes. LouisPasteur, the great French chemist and bacteriologist, became so preoccupied with them that hetook to peering critically at every dish placed before him with a magnifying glass, a habit thatpresumably did not win him many repeat invitations to dinner.

In fact, there is no point in trying to hide from your bacteria, for they are on and around youalways, in numbers you can’t conceive. If you are in good health and averagely diligent abouthygiene, you will have a herd of about one trillion bacteria grazing on your fleshy plains—about a hundred thousand of them on every square centimeter of skin. They are there to dineoff the ten billion or so flakes of skin you shed every day, plus all the tasty oils and fortifyingminerals that seep out from every pore and fissure. You are for them the ultimate food court,with the convenience of warmth and constant mobility thrown in. By way of thanks, they giveyou B.O.
