I didn't even want to joke about that on HN, but it did cross my mind. Find a happy healthy person and (somehow) ask them for some fecal matter and do a transplant. Or just start licking butts... ugh

I think they found out when studying maternal vaginal swabbing for seeding microbiota Caesarean newborns that the bacteria were actually either airborne from the maternal fecal route or somehow getting into the baby from there

Pooping during delivery is a thing. So that's entirely believable.

I don't think licking butts would do it. The gastric acids in the stomach might kill most of the good stuff?

Now a turkey baster with a partner whom has no STD's might be doable.

I once had a perpetually happy virginal, before me, girlfriend whom would have made a perfect donor.
