HUMAN BODY IS ALSO A HABITAT

The human habitat:-

Some habitats are so improbable that it is amazing  to find that organisms actually live there. Did you know that the human body is a habitat too?

Our stomach is an acidic environment that is home to a few types of bacteria. The bacteria have a tough outer layer that protects them from acid in our stomach. They help us to digest food and kill other harmful  bacteria that may enter the stomach.

Human skin especially on the face is a habitat for some mites, ticks, bacteria and fungi. The mites are less than in hundredth of the centimeter long. The have tiny claws to cling onto the skin and needle-like mouth to feed on skin cells. Like the bacteria in our stomach the bacteria on our skin also kill other harmful bacteria and viruses, helping to keep us free from diseases.

Our naked eye can not see them that there are mites even on our eyelashes!
