BTW, human tissue might not be targeted by a bacteriophage virus, but our gut is filled with beneficial bacteria. This is why people get the runs from antibiotica and why there’s shit transplants.
Most viruses are probably not surviving the acid bath that is our stomach, though.

He mentioned the burps are terrible and I HATE that thought.

If we ever get acid resistant viruses, that is how humanity goes out

Those exist.
There’s even bacteria that can live in stomach acid and cause terrible issues. Like helicopter

Yeah but what is it supposed to be?
stelelor@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Helicobacter, like Helicobacter pylori which causes ulcers.

Honestly ‘the helicopter virus’ sounds like something from a terrifying sci-fi

Just read an article that was basically saying we should consider all gut flora frenemies now. If you don’t eat enough fiber even the “good” kinds that help your body process it will go for your mucus lining, breach the cell barrier and enter the bloodstream. This causes inflammation and may also accelerate aging. Neat.
TLDR; eat fiber and don’t get old.

Or don’t eat fiber and don’t get old as well.
