Can yeast infections spread through hot tubs?

Hot tubs are absolute breeding grounds for all sorts of bacteria. The heat of the water isn’t high enough to kill the bacteria, so if they happen to survive the chemicals, there IS a chance you could catch something. However, the chances are REALLY slim. Besides, if she’s treating it, chances are the yeast is under control for the most part. I wouldn’t worry too much. Just be sure to wash yourself thoroughly with antibacterial soap in the shower when you get out.
