Drug-resistant staph found to be passed in gay sex

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A drug-resistant strain of potentially deadly bacteria has moved beyond the borders of U.S. hospitals and is being transmitted among gay men during sex, researchers said on Monday.

They said methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, is beginning to appear outside hospitals in San Francisco, Boston, New York and Los Angeles.

Sexually active gay men in San Francisco are 13 times more likely to be infected than their heterosexual neighbors, the researchers reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

"Once this reaches the general population, it will be truly unstoppable," said Binh Diep, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco who led the study. "That's why we're trying to spread the message of prevention."

According to chemical analyses, bacteria are spreading among the gay communities of San Francisco and Boston, the researchers said.

"We think that it's spread through sexual activity," Diep said.

"Your likelihood of contracting each of these diseases increases with the number of sexual partners that you have," Diep said. "The same can probably be said for MRSA."

The toxic brew served up in a single glass of KTM tapwater is guaranteed to kill the average 1st World visitor just as effectively as ebola.

Don't you wonder why, in the course of human history, just about every civilization condemned homosexuality? Maybe things like this have something to do with it. We're supposed to believe in the "village" mentality, yet when aberrant behavior leads to infections that poison all of society, we're told to mind our own business and leave the poor homos alone.

This abomination threatens all of us.

Take a look at the WHO statistics for Nepal.

Resistant staph is much more likely to be found in the homosexual population.

The average homosexual is treated much more often for VD, the treatment of course is penicillin which always wipes out whatever ordinary staph the patient may have in their system.

The gay body is the ideal testtube for this kind of super-resistant bug.

Back in the 80s when aids was just becoming popular, I spoke with an elderly doctor about it. According to this doctor, homosexual men have been getting mysteriously sick and dying of unknown and rare bugs for a long time before HIV was isolated. I would think that long after aids is no longer a problem, the same kind of thing will continue with MRSA.

ALL sin is the wages of death. It’s just that some sins carry some nasty temporal consequences that hasten death.

It’s almost as if the wages of sin is death.

MRSA is nasty and it can take out relatively healthy people. It is a big problem at hospitals in America and the UK. It is underreported because hospitals are not required to report it to CDC or the public. But privately among doctors/staff it is a huge problem. There’s only one drug that can knock it out and it’s only a matter of time before it mutates to be able to deal with that.

Yeah, Iran, that’s always where I look to for a good example. /sarc

>>>>I have heard through the years that a lot of strange and resistant infections are at least indirectly caused by spreading from the gays

That would make sense. I know little about biology but it seems if some disease strain were passed around in the closed gay “community” it would have the chance to mutate into something even more deadly over a period of time.

I would think that long after aids is no longer a problem, the same kind of thing will continue with MRSA.

I heard a PhD geochemist who was on the G. Gordon Liddy show about 12 years ago who said the same thing. I believe her name was Dr. C. Leigh Broadhurst.

She was is also a nutritionist and author, and did research on "gay" sex throughout the ages in different civilizations.

What she found was that the homosexual population of ancient cultures (such as the Greeks and those in the Middle East) were chronically sick and ill.

She stated that the immune system of men is horribly affected by homosexual sex. Moreover, men tend to have adverse reaction to other men's sperm (imagine that). What is really destructive about "gay" sex is the rupturing of blood vessels in the anus. She said that is NOT where you want to rupture blood vessels - but homosexuals do it all the time.

This is just a recipe for a health disaster.

Can you imagine hoe affordable health care could be if we didn’t spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on people who choose and continue to live destructive lifestyles? Add the illegals in to this and health care costs would be much more rational and resources would not be stretched to breaking points.

Hey, Iran shouldn’t have any MRSA problems there. Imanutjob said that they don’t have gay people over there.

(The camel and sheep f$@kers they do have don’t count ‘cause they’re female animals.)

For some reason this reminds me of Kathmandu

I guess that’s how we should think of SF.

We could just call it Buttmandu.

We need to seek UN sanctions against the Peoples' Republic of San Francisco.

Their gay brigades are spearheading an effort to develop biological weapons of ass destruction.

The stunning thing is that Reuters even reported this FACT.

Yet how many will read/hear/know it?
