A member asked:
If i have some form of fungus overgrowth like a yeast in my mouth, should my girlfriend be treated also? if she has or has not symptoms?

No worry: Oral thrush (Candida Albicans=fungus ) is not contagious, meaning it cannot be passed to others. However, If you think you have thrush, the best thing you can do is to see a dentist/physician for definitive diagnosis and treatment.
