If our stomach acids are some of the strongest acids, how do stomach bugs and tapeworms and germs not get digested in it? How is it that only things like insulin get digested?
In: Biology
The thing is – you’re eating stomach bugs and germs constantly, but the vast majority of them do get digested. It’s only certain things that resist it well enough to be a problem. For example, h. pylori is a bacteria that likes to infect your stomach and cause ulcers, and has ways of modifying the inside of your stomach to suit it.
