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
I remember hearing a story about someone that got really drunk in college. Blackout drunk and the next day, they pooped a huge tapeworm that died from all the alcohol. I don’t know if that’s true, but I’ll never forgot the story.
Who said stomach acid is the strongest acid?
Just as an aside OP, insulin isn’t digested. It has been super hard for them to make a non-injection form of it, and as far as I know, they had to make it an inhaler (I think). You have to inject it into fatty tissue and that lets you absorb it slow enough to safely use. Eating it would destroy it, as far as I know.
