  1. Apparently someone found my site (topologicoceans.wordpress.com) via yours. Yeast Beasts are quite unfortunate. I am male-bodied and thus have limited experience with the topic. However, from my second-hand experience, any live Acidopholus culture (such as Activa yogurt) will outcompete the yeastlings. Microwaving your underwear (be careful not to include any items with metal clasps or connectors) is also supposed to kill residual yeastbeasts.
