If you are suffering from a yeast infection, don't feel like you're alone. It is reported that three fourths of the earth's population will have some kind of yeast infection at one time in their days. Basically, you can get a yeast infection whether you are young or old or African or Scottish. In general, a yeast infection (or Candidiasis if you'd like to get technical) is an irritating problem but not a real risk to your health. However, several of the treatments that are commonly advised in different magazines or seen on the Internet can actually pose a serious threat to your health and make the attempt at treating an infection more of a threat than letting it alone. If you think you have a yeast infection, the initial thing you should do is go to a doctor. After a preliminary visit to establish that your ailment is in reality a yeast infection, you should be capable of identifying the signs yourself if there are any future occurrences. If there isn't actually an outbreak you don't want to treat yourself for it, so the first visit to the physician is important. The body can develop a defense to a treatment and be more resilient than before if you use a topical cream or takes medication. One fairly common recommendation for a treatment is the ingestion of tea tree oil. It should not be taken orally even if in some instances it can be helpful. There have been no experimental studies to determine the correct portion for fighting off yeast infections. If an excess is consumed it can be deadly for a person. Another product to stay away from is garlic oil. Garlic commonly has Botulism spores from being grown in the dirt, where the spores are found. If there are spores in the garlic and it is mixed with oil then the spores can grow and thrive because of a loss of oxygen. Serious illness or even death can result from this scentless poison. Be sure to stay away from these products and do the research if you are trying to find a treatment. A cure that will work and have no medical problems can be located with a little research. Staying away from the products explained above and applying a natural treatment will usually likely work for you.
