Futurity: Gut bacteria’s role in multiple sclerosis

I found this completely fascinating.  Biologists have demonstrated a connection between MS and gut bacteria.

“As we live cleaner, we’re not just changing our exposure to infectious agents, but we’re changing our relationship with the entire microbial world, both around and inside us, and we may be altering the balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory bacteria,” leading to diseases like MS, Mazmanian says.

Makes me wonder about the people who test positive for Lyme, but do not have symptoms.
