The article talks about the fact that we need and rely on certain microbes to stay healthy. This was a new concept for most students and they were really amazed learn that not all bacteria are bad. At the end of each unit students write a reflection essay on some of the assignments from the units (and also their effort, goals, etc) and a large percentage of students wrote about this article.
