A highly contagious infection that is spread through tiny particles of fecal matter has broken out in Portland - with officials warning that the homeless population are most at risk of catching the illness.
Shigella is a bacteria that spreads through human feces. People transmit the infection after getting the microbes on their hands and then touching their mouths.
People can also spread the intestinal infection through sexual intercourse.
Multnomah County in Oregon has warned that homeless people and same-sex male partners are most at risk because of their lack of access to hygienic facilities.
In the last month, 45 cases have been found in Portland, bringing the total from 2023 to 218. The influx of infections were reported among unhoused people in downtown Portland's Old Town neighborhood.
Teresa Everson, the county's deputy health officer, said: 'Current disease patterns in Multnomah County suggest that fecal-oral spread through sexual contact may account for between half or two-thirds of all cases without international travel.
'These cases can occur because bathrooms, handwashing sinks and soap can be hard to access when you aren't housed.
'And unhoused community members are at higher risk of infectious diseases in general, as they experience poorer health than the broader public.
'We would like people to not feel anxious in general unless they are in one of the specific populations.
'We have not seen cases of folks in the general public who have acquired infection that we can't explain.
'Most of the cases that we are seeing are associated with sexual activity, and some with travel. So we do not have any cases that would point us to a risk to the general public.'

Always an excuse for more government funding to fix deviant behaviors.
Gee, you turned your city into a 3rd world craphole and you get 3rd world diseases, who would have thought that would happen?
So now we can catch stuff off of a toilet seat!
That excuse didn’t used to work too good.

Why do homosexuals have a "lack of access to hygienic facilities"?
But the dems never fix the deviant behaviors, they BAN the fixes. Welcome to the New Normal.
Like the crap millions have brought across the border? Those kind of 3rd world diseases? Grrrrr!

The usual suspects...just another reason why God condemns this in his people.
“People can also spread the intestinal infection through sexual intercourse.”
I don’t think that’s “sexual intercourse.”
