Clouding the microbiome issue

As it turns out, we do not only share our microbiome with people whom we have touched, or even merely touched a surface after them, but we exude a cloud of critters that frequently emigrate to foreign lands and drop their anchor babies on us.


As reported by Scientific American, on a microbial scale we rather resemble the character Pigpen;something that would give the germophobic Lucy a conniption.



 This is some news we can share at both the Germs and the Microbiome cart. However, the idea that we could be linked forensically to a crime scene is a bit far fetched as we obviously modify our "fingerprint" as soon as we move into another area.
