BBB grew their collected samples and plant that each belly button biosystem varies substantially from mortal to person . In total , they identified 2,368 different character of bacterium , and a whopping 2,188 of those were only find in less than 10 % of the samples . But you may rest easy recognise that most of the strains were altogether harmless .
