Portland, Oregon has a serious homeless problem and now it’s about to get worse. Much worse.
The disease of Shigella is spreading in the city, mostly through the homeless population, and to make matters worse, it spreads in a disgusting way, through fecal matter.
Aside from the ethical matter of allowing people to live on the street, one of the biggest issues is the threat to public health. This is why you don’t want a large population of people living in tents and using streets as a bathroom.
FOX News reports:
Portland health officials report waste-borne illness rampant among city’s homeless
Portland, Oregon, is grappling with a cluster of a highly infectious illness that spreads through fecal matter and puts the city’s large homeless population at high risk, according to health officials.
“While we are currently seeing an increase in Shigella cases in the Portland metro area, the risk to the broader public remains low at this time and there are no measures for most folks to take at this time. The best thing we can all do to prevent both respiratory viral illness and diarrheal illness is to keep practicing good hand hygiene,” Multnomah County Deputy Health Officer Teresa Everson said in a comment to Fox News Digital.
Portland and surrounding areas closed out 2023 with 227 documented Shigella cases, health officials in Multnomah County told Fox News Digital on Thursday, 45 of which occurred in December alone. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) describes Shigella as bacteria found in fecal matter that can infect someone if ingested. The illness can cause people to experience bloody and prolonged diarrhea, fever, stomach pain, and “feeling the need to pass stool (poop) even when the bowels are empty.”
Shigella can be spread through sex, drinking contaminated water, changing diapers or caring for someone sick with the illness.
Truly disgusting.

Leftists in Portland were crazy for masks and vaccines during COVID. Where are they now? Who wants to live like this?
Democrats won’t be happy until every big city in America resembles a Third World population. Their squalor will eventually spread to the suburbs and beyond.
It’s an election year, so you can expect more of the same. The primary way dems build their war chest is milking the public cow, and that means creating problems which require large sums of public money. The larger the pot of money, the less noticeable the pilferage. A public health “emergency” worked really well for them last time, so it will be repeated along with some new wrinkles this time. I’m sure Nasty Nancy and Scathead Schumer have legislation already created to get the ball rolling, and the Fed has the printing presses lubed and ready to create $billions more out of thin air.
Awesome..hope it spreads to other liberal shxthole cities.
“How about pooping in a toilet instead of on the street?”
I saw a woman the other day drop her pants in the park in broad daylight and pee against one of the park buildings. This is a woman I have seen walking hers dogs before. Her friend just stood lookout. This isn’t a poor neighborhood.
No, that was Shi’gella...
A dystopian future.
They left the “t” out of shigella.
I have heard (but can’t confirm) that there is a certain group of folks who use their hands in lieu of toilet paper. If true, think what this means.
If you would like more information about what’s happening in Oregon, please FReepmail me. Please send me your name by FReepmail if you want to be on this list.

Shigella Can Spread Easily and
Rapidly During Sexual Activity
Shigella passes from the poop (stool) or unclean fingers
of one person to the mouth of another person. This can
happen during sexual activity through:
• Direct sexual contact: Oral or anal sex, or anal play
(rimming, fingering)
• Indirect sexual contact: Handling contaminated
objects, such as sex toys, used condoms or barriers,
and douching materials
