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.
