Abstract
We are hosts, we are hosts and we’re deeply aware of it.
We are aware of the pollutants and particulates that exist in our air, aware of the
growing presence of UVB radiation that touches our skin, aware of the microbes,
bacteria and viruses that call our interiors home, more completely aware than we’ve
ever been that to have a body contemporarily is to acknowledge a multiplicity that
can be wholly uncomfortable and even alien: that we are hosts to so much seemingly
unwanted material, sensation and life.
