Biological Effects of Being Shrunken as a Human

+0
−0

If a human being was shrunken to 1/2744th of his original size (his atoms being shrunken as well), what would be the immediate and long-term biological effects on the body, given that the natural world around him remained the same size? Would it immediately be more difficult to breathe? Would the air molecules affect him differently? Would regular-sized bacteria around him effect him more harshly? Would everyday sounds become painful to his inner-ear?

I know there are a million other technical considerations, but this question is only about the biological concerns.

sidenote: I saw the movie Downsizing yesterday, which was really a kick-in-the-balls for worldbuilding as it doesn't really appear like they thought about the world that was being created at all, aside from a few things for comedic effect. (It was also just an awful movie)
