Nahhhh, depends entirely on where from. Digestive tract? Absolutely. Middle of a large muscle? Not by a long shot.
Oh sure, apply this logic to the human body but soil gets a free pass. Enough of this online pro-soil/anti-human agenda.
Average tablespoon then.
Not by a long shot. Only the digestive tract has a ton of bacteria in it. Bacteria elsewhere is called an infection.
There are about 38 trillion bacteria in the average human. The volume of the average human is about 4500 U.S. tablespoons. Thus an average tablespoon of human has 8.4 billion bacteria in it.
Any specific tablespoon will vary greatly, that's why I said average tablespoon.
So you're not taking a random tablespoon, but averaging the bacteria. That's a different setup.
Yeah, not a random specific tablespoon of a specific human; a generalized average count based on a tablespoon of average human.
The average human has less than 2 legs, less than two nipple, and less than one testicle.
