I have been keeping an eye out for articles related to how microbes influence our bodies. As a traveler, I know all too well how microbes can mess them up (usually with the pooping) so it's really fascinating to learn more about how they affect us in positive, and subtle ways.

I've read a few articles on how antibiotics have negatively affected the microbial populations in the American gut and the rise of allergies and other things that may be related to microbes, but in light of this article, do you think that there might be a possible link between microbes and how American students learn?
