#272. Do u know this?.... According to the research, your belly button is a harbor for many bacterial species. From 60 belly buttons, the team found 2,368 bacterial species, 1,458 of which may be new to science. Some belly buttons harbored as few as 29 species and some as many as 107, although most had around 67. Ninety-two percent of the bacteria types showed up on fewer than 10 percent of subjects—in fact, most of the time, they appeared in only a single subject. The new Belly Button Biodiversity project study was published November 7 by the journal PLOS ONE.
