I mean, what kind of immortality are we talking about here?

If your cells have been locked into "last known good configuration" then there's no reason for anything inside you to evolve because nothing is changing.

Or maybe you aren't immutable, but like a ship of theseus, in which case why would your internal biome evolve away from the eternally balanced environment it lives in? Crabs haven't evolved for millenia because once perfection is achieved, where else can you evolve?

Tldr, what I'm saying is, vampires should be more worried about bursting with crabs than dinos.

Great, not only do we have to worry about vampires, now we have to worry about vampires that give us crabs too? What a world we live in.

Are the bacteria inside you part of you?
