Yeast/fungus
Yeast is a type of fungus naturally found in the human body, especially in the gut and on the skin. In normal quantities, it is harmless and part of the healthy microbiome. However, an imbalance can cause overgrowth, which may lead to various health issues. Factors such as diet, antibiotic use, and overall health can influence yeast levels.
