Yeasts....
Ok, before you read any further, be forewarned, the following is somewhat gross.
Ok, you've been warned....
Let me start by saying I'm a vet. In dogs, ear infections are most commonly caused by a yeast. (Malessesia pachydermatitis). The running 'joke' we give to clients is that 'he's baking bread in his ears'.
You sure you want to keep reading?
This got me wondering.....could you actually get bread to rise using Malessesia yeasts from a dog's ear? Anyone tried it? Wonder what it tasted like? You'd of course need to confirm that you actually had malessesia when you were done, and weren't 'contaminated' with something else.
Other than 'ewwww gross'.... Any thoughts?
