Yeast die-off (Herxheimer reaction)

What is yeast die-off (herxheimer reaction)?

When yeast cells are rapidly killed by the immune system, drug treatment, or dietary intervention, a yeast "die-off" or Herxheimer reaction occurs. This reaction is caused by the release of toxins from dying Candida cells.
