Though it makes some people squeamish to think of, there is a fungus that lives on our bodies along with many other tiny organisms!

There are some microorganisms living on our body that help us such as ‘good bacteria’ which work with the immune system. There are also some that either do nothing at all or actually cause us harm. One of these is called Candida Albicans and it is a fungus. The good bacteria work to keep the numbers of this fungus at low levels and while that is happening we stay healthy. But if the good bacteria are killed or something trigger an imbalance, the fungus will grow very quickly into larger numbers that will cause us harm as it causes a yeast infection.
