Good discussion. Reading it made me think of human pathogens. Get the mumps
and traces remain even after you're better, chicken pox turns to shingles
later in life if unfortunate, etc. Plus the whole host of organisms that we
can contract that lay low in our body until the immune system becomes
weakened.
It also makes me remember that the human body is 70 trillion cells, of
which only half are human
<https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318342.php>, the rest are
bacteria, and other organisms. Anyone know what the breakdown for a honey
bee is?
Note the cell counts for humans vary a lot. The number quoted above is just
one of them.
