      Bacteria and fungi can be really bad for you because as they grow they release molecules that can toxic and poisonous. Some bacteria also release molecules that damage your cells and make your body really sick.

      Just wanted to say that some bacteria are really good for us! For instance, we have millions of good bacteria in our guts that help us digest our food! Plus some fungi are not only good for us but very delicious too (ie mushrooms)…
