I have been ill.
It’s made me reflect on the amount of bacteria and micro-organisms on and in us. We talked about that at the beginning of the semester. My husband told me about interstitial fluids which is a fluid that fills in the empty spaces between the organs and cells. 16% of a humans body weight is this space filling fluid – for me, it’s about 10kg!
that means that if we took those fluids out, I have 10kg of emptiness in me? wow
