      Hello!

      We know more about the surface about the moon than the bottom of the sea! So there are probably a lot of interesting facts we still don’t have any idea about!

      -You can use viruses to treat a bacterial infection!The viruses that attack bacteria are so different to the ones that attack humans that they can’t hurt us! And the viruses evolve alongside the bacteria so they’re always effective, unlike antibiotics.

      -Gut bacteria can affect how your brain works by talking with the nerve that runs from your gut to your brain. That means by changing the bacteria in your gut you could affect your moods! Scientists came up with the name “psychobiotics” for bacteria like that 🙂

      -Some gut bacteria can digest fat before your body absorbs it, so you don’t take it up and get fat!
