Can u get a candida infection from touching someones saliva who has candida ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It should not: Because we all have candida in our digestive tracts (the route from the mouth to the anus) and on our bodies, we normally don't get a candida infection from touching someone else's candida. Adding a little bit of somebody else's candida to our own candida makes no difference.
