What if you spit it out? Or what about french-kissing someone, can you give this bacteria to the other person that way?


The FAQ in the google drive linked on the page tries to answer these questions.

  Will this spread to everyone I kiss? 
  It’s very unlikely in non-immunocompromised adults. However, if you’re concerned, you should avoid kissing anyone taking oral antibiotics, or children.

The company that made the bacteria gets less money and any ill-effects will need active management going forward.

The key is whether the unknown active management of this bacteria is preferable to the immense expense and problems of tooth decay.


Yes I believe that would happen if it outcompetes “native” non-gmo bacteria.


Good luck selling it for 20k/dose then.
