Question:
I am confused about oral thrush. I have searched the web and I have found differing information as to whether it iscontagious. I am interested because I mistakenly drank a friend's drink and this friend has had oral thrush several times. Could I have caught oral thrush? If so, how long would it take to show up? Thank you.

Answer:
The yeast that causes thrush can be passed to anything that touches it so yes, it is a contagious condition. Thrush is usually visible within 7 to 10 days after exposure.
