Human are an advanced bio mech suit for bacteria. Human cells - 37 trillion (majority red blood cells). Bacteria in the human body - 38 trillion.
There is a non-zero chance that the human consciousness is the product of bacteria forming a mesh neural network that hijacks the human brain’s voluntary functions. It could explain why some people suffer emotional distress while under antibiotics (I get severe depression).

More than 90% of the serotonin in your body is produced in your gut in a process that is regulated by bacteria. This serotonin not only aids in digestion, but interacts with nerves that communicate with the central nervous system to alter mood and mental health
If you experience severe depression under antibiotics, you might try to take some probiotic supplements that have strains including Lactobacillus and Streptococcus along with a helping of some soluble fiber.

Or just that nuking gut bacteria messes with the gut brain axis…
I do like that the brain gives itself immune privilege and the blood brain barrier, it’s like “miss me with that shit” haha
