Good call, J Stasko , that pink horizontal tube seems too long to be a bacterium..could be a fungal hypha. Candida species colonize our mouths. Candida is dimorphic and can switch between budded states and hyphae, although I think it remains as buds until it begins to invade the epithelium.
Bacteria can be tasty, anyway. Who would turn down a nice yogurt or slice of cheese? (Except for those of us with casein or lactose intolerance and the like.)

+Gina Jordan, it is like an exotic dish, don’t think too much of what’s inside it otherwise you will never kiss someone again!
I love the pictures.

Is that fungal hyphae stretching across the screen? Is it all bacteria?

It’s hard to think about this, when you’re kissing somebody. ha!
