The microbial world is diverse

Most microbes do not cause harm. Many are essential for our bodies and the environment. They help us digest food, protect our skin, and keep ecosystems balanced. But some can turn into dangerous pathogens that can cause serious infections.

“The diverse ecosystem of microbes that live all around us and in us, is invisible to the naked eye. Most play important roles in protecting us and keeping the world in balance, but some can be turned into dangerous microbes that can cause infection. This piece is an encouragement of how we all are different diverse people and we each have our role to play to bring balance and harmony.”
