    Does this mean that for every human that disappeared there should have been massive piles of bacteria and shit left where they were last standing

      That’s the dust you see floating away when someone gets snapped.

      Even better, your microbiome covers your entire body (anything exposed to air) and into any organs that are part of the waste processing system.

      So briefly after the snap you would see a vague outline of the creature, with a well defined digestive tract (mouth to anus), eyes, nose, ears, sinus system, and bladder. Because bacteria, viruses, and fungi are all quite small, the cluster of gut organisms would probably fall, and the rest would drift away. Imagine being in a crowded space and just breathing in all those bacteria, viruses, and fungi… 🤮 I bet a lot of people would die from infections.

      If the creature had any parasitic infections, like a tapeworm, that could also be left behind.
