When I greet you with a fond "Hello," I am not just greeting one organism, but several million of you. Most of you are single-celled critters living in the digestive tract. If you have a cold at the moment, there would be bacteria of that sort in your respiratory system.

Theological question: do the parasites in and on you at the moment of your death go on to the Afterlife with you?

Only if they are Christian. All others go to Hell.

I don't know if this relates, but I saw a bumper sticker that said, "The meek shall inherit the $hit."

More important to me : will the BACs leave a little pile of feces and intestinal bacteria behind when they get raptured ?

Some of the intestinal bacteria help to digest food. Without having them in Heaven, do you not eat food? That would seem to be a case of giving up one of the earthly pleasures. Or is there Heavenly food to be consumed, but it never passes beyond the stomach, being miraculously dematerialized at that point in its passage through the system?

I don't believe people actually eat in Heaven, or need to.
