Terror as medics fear spread of horror plague

- By BARNEY SAMUELS news@ sundayspor­t. co. uk

A NEW form of VD that munches away on victim’s genitals has been identified for the first time… in SOUTHPORT!

The horror plague, called Donovanosi­s, is normally restricted to tropical countries and it’s not yet clear why it’s cropped up in the Merseyside seaside resort.

The bug, if left untreated, causes flesh- eating genital ulcers to grow and spread. Other bacteria then attacks the rotting matter in the ulcers, creating a stench described as “like a dead dog in a puddle of sewage on a warm summer’s day”.

Bit by bit, the horror infection eats away at the genitals then moves on to the ARSEHOLE.

Complicati­ons

There are also possible complicati­ons involved in contractin­g the disease, which can include permanent genital damage and scarring, loss of skin colour and irreversib­le genital swelling due to the scarring.

The disease is usually found in tropical and subtropica­l countries such as southeast India, Guyana and New Guinea, and due to its rarity in Britain it doesn’t appear on most sex pox lists, compiled by UK sexual health websites.

Pharmacist Shamir Patel, of Chemist 4 U, said: “This is a very rare and nasty condition and it could be one of the first times it has been recorded in the UK.

“Donovanosi­s itself can be treated with antibiotic­s, time is of the essence. Any delay could cause the flesh around the genitals to literally rot away.

“This bacteria is also a risk factor in the transmissi­on of HIV.”
