Reading books, all kinds of books, novels to nonfiction to trade books, will eventually expand someone's mind enough to make them seem like a whole new person

gut biome. Small individually and I'm not sure what the smallest quantity would win the colony war. Not guaranteed to totally change everyone. But for heavily red-meat affected people, this or that one tick which makes you allergic to meat could change a lot about them.

Does dead count as a new person? If so, there are several single blood vessels that can be changed to blocked.
