I don't like how vulnerable our gut microbiome is and how much we depend on it. 🥹

Don't worry, your brain is just an unfortunate side-effect and the gut microbes actually rule the body. When they're in danger they sacrifice unimportant organs like the brain first. "Death" doesn't actually mean what you think it does... 😬
