A really interesting study that found that cohabitating couples end up having starly similar microbiomes which is the collection of bacteria that lives on the skin of your body and in your digestive tract. The study showed that just by swabbing the skin they could predict your partner with 86% accuracy. Why does that matter you ask? If one partner doesn't have good hygiene that could lead to both partners immune systems being affected and them being sick more often for example. Microbiomes and their associated bacteria or lack thereof have been linked to depression and other diseases such as parkinsons. The old saying of "you are who you're with" has never been more true. Probiotics anyone?
