Clean

The patient enters a booth in which they are dosed with a mixture of radiation, arsenic and antibiotics in order to kill every single bacteria, fungus and parasite inside their body. They are then shaved of all body hair and washed in ice baths before entering the clean room, set up for patients who have been afflicted with diseases or allergies that make them susceptible to falling foul of living a day to day life.

A problem with removing all bacteria from the body, which outnumbers our cells ten to one, is digestion. Bacteria is quite intrinsic to breaking down certain foods and without them the patients have a diet consisting mainly of pre-digested soup. For the most part the patients are happy, although they miss cheese.
