The potent hydrochloric acid kills bacteria, protecting your body from harmful microbes which can enter your body in food. Your stomach protects itself from being digested by its own enzymes, or burnt by the corrosivehydrochloric acid, by secreting sticky, neutralising mucus that clings to the stomach walls
