>These illness-causing bacteria can be contracted from infected feces that enter the mouth due to poor handwashing, or by swallowing food or water contaminated with them.

>The best ways to prevent yourself from catching the disease are to maintain good hygiene and wash your hands. It is also important to wash the genitals and anus with soap and water before and after sexual activity, which applies to everyone engaging in all types of sexual activity.

Eating ass. Just say it. Quit eating dirty, unwashed ass

I will now refrain from eating dirty, unwashed ass. I mean, I did before this post because that’s just nasty, but now I have a medical justification!

At which point in the date do you bring up the "We must wash our genitals and anuses before and after sexual activity" clause?

I think it would be better to broach it early, so they make an excuse and leave before you've had a chance to get your hopes up.

Extreme-Island-5041 | 3 hours ago

Agreed.

Waiter/Waitress: "Can I get you two some drinks?"

You: "One moment."

turns to date

You: "Will there be any ass eating tonight?"

Her: "Yeah. Yeah, I think there will be."

turns back to waiter/waitress with a smile

You: "Two Dry Dirty Martinis it is. Dry is the theme and hopefully this is the only dirty thing we'll be introducing our tongues to tonight!"

Seems like relatively simple math:

If the poo hole cleanse depth exceeds the partners tongue length...good to go!

Aka wash atleast 3 inches deep inside the hole. Unless you’re dating a band member from kiss or terry crews that should be enough.

>Most people at risk of infection are children under 5, those in places where sanitation standards are lower, and those who are homeless. However, there is also evidence that gay and bisexual men are experiencing a rapid rise in the infection. According to experts, Shigella is regularly present within these communities.

Guess you're at risk, huh?

The "fecal-oral" route of transmission as it's called. Also why I don't eat ass.

Yea, I just remember I had such a high fever I was hallucinating in my room. The next thing I know, a nurse has my legs up over my head and I’m getting my ass wiped in the hospital. It was pretty bad, i was like five or six so I lucked out and didnt shit myself to death. Sure came close though😬

regprenticer | 2 hours ago

It will be Shigella which is largely associated with sexual activity. I've been told it's absolutely unbearable so you don't really want it.

Hugs154 | 2 hours ago

It’s hard to know for any individual, but on a population level researchers can infer that at least part of the increase is sexually transmitted because it’s disproportionately affecting gay men (who have more sex and specific types of sex more often than the rest of the population.) Presumably STI risk questionnaires will be more common for Shigella diagnoses moving forward and we’ll be able to get more data.

HyperSpaceSurfer | 2 hours ago

They test for what you have if you have diarrhea that's bad enough. If it's bacterial they tend to be able to grow it to see what's up.

Shigella transmits via the fecal oral route. Nothing in the article suggests vaginal or seminal fluids transmit it.
