Woman makes bread with yeast from vagina

Quote:
For most people with vaginas, yeast infections are the worst. But one woman decided to turn a typical itch-fest into a baking experiment and is blowing up the Internet in the process.
Feminist blogger Zoe Stavri, who writes at Another Angry Woman, woke up on Saturday with the typical signs of a yeast infection, she wrote in a blog post. But due to her self-described "slightly perverse sense of humor," she decided to try baking bread with her yeast. So she retrieved some yeast using a *****, combined it with flour and water, and covered it up so the yeast could do its job. She started making the sourdough starter on Saturday afternoon, and so far, so good.
Naturally, since she's (1) a feminist blogger and (2) talking about bodily fluids, she hasn't gotten all positive responses from this experiment. People on Twitter have called her mentally ill and dirty, and said they'll never eat bread again. But Stavri wrote that the sanitary risks aren't very big, since the yeast gets cooked, and the only real risk is that the bread may not rise as well. "There's probably far grosser things going on in the food you're eating than a trace amount of vaginal yeast," she wrote. "I suspect the vast majority of the utter horror about my sourdough isn't anything to do with ignorance on food hygiene, but more to do with a general mistrust and horror at ***."
