During sex-ed my middle school science teacher told us about stupid myths and told us about how when she was in college one of the girls in her sorority would put yogurt in her cooter to cure a yeast infection. She was never sure why but now that I think about it, that girl probably heard that vaccines contained a little of whatever germ you're vaccinating yourself against and probably heard yogurt contained the "good" bacteria and put 2 and 2 together. (Which is still mixing up the difference between yeast and bacteria)

Wilhemina posted:The weirdest one I heard this week was somebody who didn't eat mushrooms because they read they cause yeast infections. I knew there was a million things wrong with this, but looking it up results in it being a thing about as much as gluten sensitivity, and seems a bit worse. Instead of avoiding some grain-products due to misinformation about one plant, it's avoiding all edible fungus is the solution to not spending money on Vagisil. Sounds like that "Candida diet" thing which I have never established to be anything but massive bullshit.

I've heard it's to restore the pH balance, pussy's supposed to be pretty sour and if the balance gets upset there's a huge risk of yeast and fungi setting up shop. God drat it am I happy to have a dick, for many reasons.

That is actually a thing. Acidophilus affects the yeast, or something.

A good, well matured Northern Italian salumo, like a Lombardian salam casalin, or salame mantovano or a strolghino, with a nice white coating of fungus on it, smells suspiciously like pussy. I keep pondering this from time to time, with little hope of resolution.

Re: yeast infections and probiotics, it is recommended by the CDC to take probiotics during and after an antibiotic regimen to prevent yeast infection which is a really common side effect of antibiotics in vagina-bearers. Bodies is complicated. For reasons I'm not sure are fully known, antibiotics can also disrupt the efficacy of hormonal birth control.

I didn't think that eating yogurt will prevent/cure a yeast infection (and I didn't think it was the probiotics that did anything to yeast, but who knows)... When you treat a yeast infection with yogurt you pretty much inject it into your cooter (just like other topical yeast infection meds).

Whenever I get one of my frequent anal infections I look forward to a cooling, soothing live-yoghurt enema. Lightly chilled kefir is pleasant too.

My experience with kefir is that eating it will end up cleaning out the other end anyways.

Anecdotally, it works?

From what I understood was that it's a case of allowing more "good flora" to outnumber and inhibit the "bad flora" that can make you sick. iANAD, but I imagine it's part of the advice to not use harsh soaps that might kill off the good flora to keep things in check.

Also, if your yeast infection involves the other hole, you want to go with greek yogurt.

Made tacos tonight using fresh cilantro like a bed of lettuce. I see what people mean when they say it tastes like soap, but I still like it. Soft taco shells are better than hard taco shells.

There's no such thing as a taco shell. There are tortillas. And those are what tacos go into.

Jury duty today at the federal court house. Didn't get picked, which is just as well since it would have been my second capitol case in a few years. Took all day, though.

Tonight I shocked some hard boiled eggs with a bag of freezer burned green beans because I ran out of ice. I'm supposed to be a grown-up but I never have ice in my freezer except for summer!

Oh, wait. I do. Ice can be fun! Yes, I have multiple ice molds in the house. How else are you going to make a nice Collins or garnish a punch?

we have an ice machine in the freezer, not really a problem. Though I do wish the shapes were more cocktail friendly.

Same, so I got a bunch of those awesome silicone cube trays like VM posted above. BUT now those seem to be always filled with some baby food concoction freezing because they are exactly 1, 2, or 3 ounces (for the biggest cubes) and it is really easy to portion and freeze batches of mush in them.

I bought one of those super huge king size ice cube trays but it turns out the cubes don't fit in any of my glasses other than coffee mugs. So guess who's been drinking whisky out of a coffee mug.

Update: found my ice cube tray. No I can properly shock hard boiled eggs. Next up: pressure cooker so I can cook them instantly. Also, drinking any alcohol out of a mug rules, no shame. Especially hot toddys, I just discovered those and they changed completely how I do winter.
