  1. With recombinant DNA everything can become deadly again with the right antimicrobial resistance genes and plasmids.

    It is somewhat concerning how easy it is to modify bacteria for it's drug resistance, in the wrong hands it can become a bioterrorism threat.

  2. Syphillis appears to have originated in the Americas and was likely brought to Europe during the Columbian exchange. The first confirmed outbreak was in 1495 in Naples Italy. There is some evidence of a similar disease in Europe before the columbian exchange, but it may have been a different disease with similar symptoms.

  3. Another interesting factoid about Syphilis: back in the days before Penicillin they used to infect people suffering from late stage Neurosyphilis with Malaria as a cure. The intense fever cycles and highly stimulated immune system would kill off the bacteria and the Malaria could then be taken care of afterwards. While they used relatively mild Malaria strains the method obviously still came with risks, but was better than nothing. If I recall correctly the guys who did it first even got a Nobel prize for it.

  4. I feel great sympathy towards the people who suffered horribly from this disease in our history, and great appreciation to the medical scientists who developed the treatment preventing most people in the future from suffering the same fate.

  5. Hey imma be real with anyone who sees this, I caught syphilis literally a week before I left for navy bootcamp and thankfully they caught it in such a early state the penicillin shot in the ass hurts and the anxiety of me accidentally passing it on to another person killed me for weeks so please wear protection (thankfully to my knowledge I didn't spread it to anyone and the person I caught it from never informed me at any point in time so definitely watch where you're sticking your stuff at)

  6. Worth mentioning is congenital syphilis, e.g. syphilis you are born with due to mother being infected. CDC actually says that there is rise of syphilis in the recent years.
