Health officials have issued a warning over a new strain of super gonorrhoea that is resistant to two crucial antibiotics - including a last-ditch resort.

In the first recorded case worldwide, an unidentified English man - who was having regular sex with a woman in the UK - caught the STI from another woman during his travels to south east Asia earlier this year.

Public Health England revealed his gonorrhoea was resistant to ceftriaxone and azithromycin - the two drugs that the World Health Organization recommends to be given to patients with the STI.

The Government-run agency has issued an alert regarding the possible spread of the bug - which proved resistant to recommended treatment.

I read that SE Asia is infamous for the overuse of antibiotics , which leads to drug resistant strains.

THE dreaded black syph/death.

Stuff falls off while taking a wiz, like leprosy.

However, mostly bull, except for the pain part when taking that wiz.

I remember before we could leave the ROK (South Korea) in the 80’s that we had to get “rodded” , an extremely painful procedure, that had to be negative before we were allowed to leave country. Once ‘rodded’ we were restricted to base until departure time or at least had an escort for off base business.
