I just checked the CDC's website to confirm something that I've read recently about drug resistant gonorrhea and found this fascinating little blurb:

"Gonorrhea has progressively developed resistance to the antibiotic drugs prescribed to treat it. The emergence of cephalosporin-resistant gonorrhea would significantly complicate our ability to treat gonorrhea successfully, since we have few antibiotic options left that are simple, well-studied, and highly effective. It is critical to continuously monitor antibiotic resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae and encourage research and development of new treatment regimens"

Wouldn't it be a hoot if syphilis someday developed the same kind of resistance! Then being a slut (male *or* female) would take on a whole new set of "challenges".

Well honestly, there may be antibiotic-resistant strains of Montezuma’s gift already out there, and they just haven’t diagnosed or admitted it on the news yet. Creepy!
