Yes, yeasts are everywhere, along with the bacteria - inside,
outside, everywhere. They are one of the members of the balancing
act. When humans say they have a yeast "infection", it's not an
infection at all, just a migration and squatting somewhere they
shouldn't inhabit. Grain, fruit, milk, all ferment spontaneously.
Birds get drunk on berries. I don't think it's too far-fetched to
call these fermented things Paleo - no more than fruit juice and
squeezed seeds and fishes.
