[Lliam]

"A novel fungal infection transmitted through sexual contact caused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes type VII has surfaced in the United States for the first time. "Healthcare providers should be aware that Trichophyton mentagrophytes type VII is the latest in a group of severe skin infections to have now reached the United States," stated a dermatologist and assistant professor at NYU Grossman School of Medicine - Dr Avrom Caplan"

This is the first I've heard of it.

It causes painful lesions. Apparently, it's a strain that is resistant to anti-fungal medications.

No. Another reason to use the organ up high or suffer consequences.

Read about it yesterday. I'm certain it will be brought to heel within a year or so.
