\nBiologist Rob Dunn is the David Attenborough of the domestic sphere, uncovering everything from microbes in the shower to spiders in the basement. He goes on safari in the satisfyingly dusty corners of one Copenhagen homeThe good news is that I will never be home alone again. The bad news \u2013 well, it\u2019s not in fact bad news, but it is slightly unsettling \u2013 is that I share my home with at least 5,000 other species: wasps, flies, spiders, silverfish and an exotic bunch of wild bacteria.All that information is apparently contained in a patch of grey dust I have just swabbed with my right index finger from a door frame in my living room.

He carries no lab gear and his blue crewneck jumper and striped Oxford shirt are hardly the combat suit of an exterminator. But with every discovery we make, with every spider we find lurking in the corner or each swab of dust, he displays an almost childlike sense of excitement. He swears and smiles, even whoops with delight: \u201cThis dust sample contains bacteria, your body microbes, your wife\u2019s body microbes, your child\u2019s body microbes. If you smoke weed we would find marijuana DNA in there. Everything is visible, but it\u2019s also present in every breath. Every time you inhale, you inhale that story of your home.\u201d Continue reading…
