This will take me to the stomach lining and I will try to kill the stomach cells. Adventure awaits me Day 2: As I approached the stomach cell, I wrap myself in cotton candy as a disguise. A cell membrane security guard starts asking me questions before I can actually get in. "When did you enter the body?, Where did you come from?, Did you enjoy your ride down the esophagus?."

    According to News Medical Life Sciences and Medicine, viruses are tiny organisms, which have nucleic acid backbones with protein coatings that lead to severe illnesses in plants, humans, and animals.
