Lurking in the depths of our bodily hosts are a variety of fungi. One of the most common fungal friends that makes up part of the microorganisms in our bodies is a type of yeast called the Candida.
Considered to be the most prevalent cause of fungal infections in people, Candida can be found in various parts of the human body, mainly the Gastrointestinal (GI) tract, mouth, and vagina. Candidiasis, an infection caused by Candida, is a fairly common occurrence for the human body that isn’t all that problematic until it grows out of control. (Eep! If Candida was a person, you’d definitely wouldn’t call it a fun guy!)
