Yes/no: The human body has a balance of various germs in your gut that work in harmony with your system and help you.Within days of birth, humans have taken in enough germs (eaten) that they start helping convert your vitamins so you can clot your blood. Probiotics are beneficial germs, different from those that cause disease.Sepsis is when germs get in your blood, which these do not do.
