I Am Not Pinwormy
I have been doing some reading.
The polyphenic ability of Candida Albicans to shift from roughly circular and opaque yeast growths to a hyphal form is a terrifying idea.
I've seen mycelium run through food sources. Logs, paper, compost.
The reality of hyphae running through the human body in colonization would be the thing of nightmares.
After a certain point killing the hyphae without killing the colonized host could be very tricky.
Candida going systemic has killed people.
The damage it could do as it chows down on a human being is something we just don't hear about unless we do the reading ourselves.
You are right. A case of pinworms is a walk in the park compared to candida getting out of hand.
I would rather not have found out. But now I know. I'll probably do one of the candida tests I found on the web to see what my status is.
This whole thing looks like it could get out of hand. Looking for things and then finding them could hand someone a severe case of depression.
If the bottom itching hadn't become so intense I would never have known about a number of things.
Ignorance was bliss when it comes to this stuff.
