What Causes Thrush?
Thrush is basically a condition where the mouth is overrun with a fungus known as Candida Albicans. This can happen when the immune system is weakened for some reason and unable to keep the amount of this fungus under control. It occurs most often in those with compromised immune systems such as those with cancer, diabetes, and AIDS, but it is a concern for anyone with a weakened immune system.

Some individuals believe that they could never get thrush infection because they do not believe that fungus could get in the mouth in the first place. Here’s the secret.
