A drug-resistant 'super fungus' that targets the groin and bum is spreading rapidly across Britain.
Cases of trichophyton indotineae - which triggers unsightly, stubborn skin lesions all over the body - are now rocketing in the UK, despite being virtually unknown just a few years ago.
Cases have surged by 500% in the past three years, with one fungus expert describing it as "a really big problem".
The infection is triggered by a highly contagious fungus and is typically caught through direct skin contact with somebody who's infected. However it can also be transmitted via contaminated surfaces, household objects or sexual contact.
Most alarmingly, it has been found to resist treatment - leaving patients waiting weeks for the rashes to clear.
Initial symptoms of T. indotineae infections typically appear as circular lesions around the groin or buttocks, before spreading to elsewhere on the body.
The fungus triggers a severe and particular type of ringworm, a widespread infection which has been known by medics for centuries, but has evolved resistance to most antifungal medications

...this will hurt you more than it will me, but it gets the job done...
Hetero monogamy is so underrated. She loves me, I love her and somehow we both stay disease free. For added fun it is very intimate on the occasions we help wash each other’s sensitive parts. Try it. You will like it. It has worked for eons.
Does the fungus infect goats?
I bet goats are the source.
Just one of many reasons why unbridled, unchecked immigration from 3rd world countries is insanity par excellence.
Import 3rd world....become 3rd world’
Enjoy your drug-resistant fungus, Brits. Thank your lib nitwit citizens for their self-loathing idiocy.
Apple cider vinegar.
Don’t use public toilets, wash hands thuroughly.
Like in H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds, the invading aliens succumb to a deadly fungus. The world rejoices.
One man. One woman. Marriage. It works!
“describing it as “a really big problem’.”
Ya THINK?!?
“Homosexuality is unhealthy. “
Trouble is ... “typically caught through direct skin contact with somebody who’s infected. However it can also be transmitted via contaminated surfaces, household objects or sexual contact.”
So even if someone is on his best behavior, it still could be a problem.
All those poor goats and sheep in the UK better watch out! Veterinarians will be very busy!!
Yup it’s said to have originated in South Asia.
Correction needed “household objects USED for sexual contact”.
I went and looked at pics of this. Ewww. Nothing funny about this.
That is all.
You, theoretically, can catch HIV through frenching someone who is infected.
The first is so rare as to be the subject of legend and the second has never been proven to happen.
Many things are possible. But that is not the way to bet.
Geez, guys! 38 posts and nobody pinged Fungi??
Not according to leftists the world over… It’s healthy, normal and glorious. Just yuck
