Which is why I have time to post these beautiful pictures of Jephtha's fungus that he grew in his very own oral cavity. My oral pathology professor culutured out the fungus and basically we saw both straight ones and circle ones. The circle ones (or spores) basically mean that it is a VERY active form. So everyone be proud of Jeph, he's a great host for growing fungus.
But actually he was only great at growing it because he was soooo very sick and was on some pretty strong antibiotics that killed all of the normal flora in his mouth allowing the fungus to take over. O the wonderful things we have lectures about in dental school....
So enjoy the pictures!

He said it was yeast, is that right? It doesn't sound like it should be.
I think it was candida albicans.
poor kid.
