Bacteria ‘hijack’ human immune system

Just logging a fascinating new insight from the Royal Society that Bacteria ‘hijack’ the human immune system. It’s no real surprise to me. I’ve talked about how we are made from bacteria and this can both benefit and harm us

The lesson from this article is that bacteria are continually evolving. Most live within us and help us. But we are to them just like the earth is to us. We are their environment in which they live.

Without going into detail, this understanding can have implications for cancer, recovery, allergies, activity, diet
