'Flesh-eating' STD allegedly reported in England
Fox News ^ | August 22, 2018 | Alexandria Hein

Posted on 08/23/2018 10:41:29 AM PDT by Zakeet

A rare sexually transmitted disease that causes flesh-eating ulcers on patients’ genitalia has popped up in England, the Lancashire Post reported.

[Snip]

Donovanosis, which is spread through sexual intercourse with an infected patient, or by coming into contact with a patient's infected ulcer, is typically seen in India, New Guinea, parts of the Caribbean, central Australia and southern Africa.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the painless disease causes progressive ulcerative lesions on the genitals or perineum, which are prone to heavy bleeding.

Patients are at risk of extragenital infections that can occur in the pelvic regions, or in intra-abdominal organs, bones or mouth. The lesions may also develop secondary bacterial infections.

While antibiotic treatment may stop the progression of lesions, patients are at risk of relapse for 6-18 months post-treatment.

Has sex between a man and a woman actually been reported recently in San Francisco? This is an extraordinary development! :)

This reminds me how the liberals blamed Ronald Reagan for the spread of AIDS in the ‘80s.

The liberals claimed that Reagan didn’t do enough to fight AIDS, didn’t allocate enough federal funds for research and vaccines etc.

Rather than blaming the spread of AIDS on the voluntary risky behavior which spreads it, the liberals instead criticized Reagan for not doing enough to fight AIDS.

I’m sure it has nothing to do with the hordes of middle east rodents they have let into the country. Just weird timing I’m sure.

Reported but not independently confirmed. Chances are it’s just a rumor.

Lol

I remember that.

We had a guy who had something bad. He couldn’t take a leak without being in great pain. Out in the field we’d team up … two guys under a honcho stretched out to make a “hooch”. Nobody wanted to “hooch” with him.

“..the painless disease causes progressive ulcerative lesions on the genitals or perineum, which are prone to heavy bleeding...”

So the works fall apart then off and you bleed profusely but at least it doesn’t hurt.

Eddie Murphy, 1981:

You know what’s really scary about it? That new AIDS ****.

AIDS is scary because it kills MFers! AIDS!

That ain’t like the good old days when venereal disease was simple. In the good old days, you got gonorrhea, you **** hurt, go get a shot, cleared right up.

Then they came out with herpes, you keep that **** forever like luggage.

And now they got AIDS that just kills MFers. I say what’s next, I guess you just put your **** in it and it explodes!

“Next!”

I still watch “Delirious” a few times a year, and I still laugh as much today as I did then.

But, Eddie couldn’t do at least half of that material today.

They’ll suck the salt right out of you.

Also, beware of the ones that already knows your name. “I am for you, James Kirk...”
