Failing a drool test
I’ve spent years ardently fending off yeast infections and only today did I come across this, a simple diagnostic to verify and track the presence of candidiasis. Simply fill a glass with water and then spit into it. Wait about a minute. If there’s no action, you’re in the clear. If you happen to see misty white tentacles of saliva wafting slowly downward, you’ve likely got a hometown parade of the Yeastie Beasties marching through your intestines.
This morning my drool made the prettiest descent I’ve ever seen spit manage. It was beautiful, balletic - graceful white whisps of angels swirling down to the bottom of the mug. Like a dew-kissed spider web, or liquid pantyhose. Oh, the splendor of pathology. If I could have figured out a way to film it without the camera picking up the photographer’s reflection, I’d have done it. But I think everyone remembers this photo, and so I hesitate to photograph shiny objects.
My eyes are burning!!!
