Beer Attracts Mosquitoes, Facial Recognition, and One Thousand Species of Bacteria Can Live in Your Gut

Malarial mosquitoes like beer drinkers.

Never forget a face? Thank your parents because facial recognition is inherited.

The human gut can harbor more than 1000 different species of bacteria. But the average person only has 160.

    I guess I won’t be getting malaria any time soon.

    How do mosquitoes respond to vodka martinis?

  3. Bruce says:

    Not sure how useful it is to know how many types of bacteria can live in my stomach.

    The type of bacteria living in one’s gut is of enormous interest to researchers. Obese people have different strains than skinny people. Researchers are trying to figure out whether the strain makes you obese; or whether the underlying factors cause obesity, which has an effect on which strains thrives. Also, people with irritable bowel syndrome and other stomach problems have different strains than non-suffers. Again, is it the strain causing the problem? Or is the different bacterial strain a symptom?

    On the point of irritable bowel syndrome an acquaintance of a friend of mine had a severe case and his Doctor was at wits end to help him any further. I was doing oxygen therapy using the specific liquid in water then to drink after an hour of taking food. This cleared up my chronic blocked sinuses and never had the problem since. I mentioned this to the sufferer of the irritable bowel syndrome and others told him it was all quackery and would not work.He tried the product and unbelievable even for me it all cleared up in a few weeks. This comes to the point where possibly the oxygen actually killed off the strain causing the problem which was an uninvited guest so to speak.
