Most people dont realise that thrush can kill.

75% of women will have at least one episode of vulvovaginal candidiasis and this is when thrush gets out of control, but it can still be spread when its not out of control because its practically impossible to get rid of.

In-hospital all-cause (crude) mortality among people with candidemia is approximately 25% and remains a persistent public health problem[1].

What annoys me, is this knowledge is not something new, its been known for decades and I remember the sex education I got at school or complete lack of it apart from the mechanics but never taught the implications of STD's et al, which means the Govt and health experts are fuelling these persistent public health problems along with all the nutters who should be locked up in the funny farms who think God will save them!

Thrush is a fungal yeast infection that's almost universal for most people -- you're going to have these critters living on or in you eventually anyways.

And it's not an issue unless you're immunocompromised or otherwise highly vulnerable. It's not an issue for most people.
