We have 10 to 20 times more microbial cells in the intestine than we have eukaryotic cells (normal human cells) in the whole body! There is 800 different species and 7000 different strains of bacterias!
Here is a short list of how many grams we have of these "good bacterias" in different parts in the body:
- Eyes - 1 gram
- Nose - 10 grams
- Mouth - 20 grams
- Lungs - 20 grams
- Vagina - 20 grams
- Skin - 200 grams
- Intestines - 1000-2000 grams (1-2 kg!!)
