*Linda Allison’s book of Mouth Microbes. Author of the acclaimed activity book, “Blood and Guts,” Linda Allison, is creating a new book for the Biology of Human Project:
“Did you know that you have more microbes in your mouth than there are people on earth? It’s quite natural to have zillions of microbes living on you and in you. Most of them do you no harm and many of them do you good. It is no wonder the inside of your mouth is home base to a myriad of happy microbes –it’s deliciously dark, toasty warm, and constantly washed with a moist solution of dissolved foodstuffs. It is a heavenly habitat for a millions of tiny life forms.”
