Human excrement, poop or faeces have always been known to be waste products and other than using them as fertilisers, there is much use for them. However, scientists have found that there might be more uses for faeces than we think.
Scientists believe that storing your faeces when you’re young can benefit you as you get older. They believe that faecal microbiota transplant which is the transfer of healthy bacteria found in faeces could be used to treat conditions like asthma, multiple sclerosis, obesity and diabetes. Of course the faeces will be stored under cryo conditions and only be used when necessary.
Who would have thought that the faeces you excreted in your baby days could be used to help you when you get older. Isn’t science amazing!
