Finally, a book that offers a refreshing view of the positive role germs play in our world. Germs Are Us is an attitude changer, sending anxiety and fear packing. Understanding is the key, and Germs Are Us provides that key. Consider it a guide for unlocking and revealing the myriad contributions microbes provide for our existence, wellbeing, and enjoyment. In Germs Are Us, we learn that our 10 trillion human cells and our 100 trillion microbial cells —that’s not a misprint — along with our 22,000 genes and their eight million genes, all co-mingled, create a supra-organism; a supra-human! “To banish microbes is to banish ourselves. They are the oldest living things on earth; they can live without us, as they have for billions of years. We cannot live without them.” - Melvin A. Benarde, Author
