Loudmouth, do you have a reference for this? I don't doubt the general idea, but I saw a talk a while back and the speaker said 10 times more-- I think it was something like humans have ~10^14 cells and we have ~10^15 bacteria living on and in us. But I looked for a reference later I could not find one. I would like to use the right numbers, but don't have a good reference.
​
thanks,

Mike
