No harm at all: There's no such thing as being overexposed to yeast. Cooking and culinary yeasts (baking, beer and wine making, etc) do not infect humans; no harm no matter how much. Regarding human yeasts like candida, are you concerned about overgrowth or "systemic candidiasis"? These are urban myths. Candida is normal on skin, in our intestines and genital tract). Sometimes local symptoms, but mostly harmless.
