Question:

How long does it take for yeast to die on cloth toys?

My son had thrush and he was chewing on unwashable toys before we figured it out. We took them away about 3 weeks ago and have been sanitizing plastic toys on a daily basis since then. But can we give those cloth toys back without further treatment? some have batteries inside or are unwashable for other reasons.

I have a yeast infection I go to the doctors for but cant get rid of it as well, but im pregnant, so my medication I can take is very limited. I Had a UTI (track infection) got rid of it, now I have a yeast infection. Ooy, when you find a cure, let me know!
The breastfeeding article says that, Towels and clothing are among the surfaces that are at high risk of harboring candida. A study (see NCBI link) looking at the length of time fungal spores could exist on a variety of fabrics used in hospitals found that Candida (the yeast that causes thrush) survived for an average of 5 days after inoculation, and lasted longer on synthetic materials (polyethylene, polyurethane, spandex, polyester) than cotton or fabrics that were a mixture of natural and synthetic fibers. But I am sure three weeks is more than enough time for all the Candida to die off since the longest surviving Candida survived for eighteen days according to the article this site is referencing.
