So what happens if the bacteria spreads to people's guts when they don't have diabetes? Seems like a risky thing, or maybe it would be rare like autobrewery syndrome.

What happens if it spreads from your diabetic family members' skin to yours?

What happens if it finds another anaerobic niche in our bodies?

What happens if it just doesn't work very reliably and people rely on it?
