Syphilis

"Nobody knows how they got it, but damned if they know how to get rid of it".

If THIS is how you look at syphilis, then you HAVE to read this pamphlet! It will tell you a general description of the bacterium, how it is contracted, the symptoms, how to prevent it, and side effects of syphilis.

How Syphilis Is Contracted!

Syphilis is contracted when the spirochete treponema pallidum penetrates broken skin, or mucous membranes, but is mostly contracted through sexual contact. Syphilis can also be given to a fetus during secondary syphilis, but during any stage of pregnancy. Most people in the United States that have syphilis are adults between the ages of 20-29.

This virus is extremely dangerous, and can cause massive physical damage.

Treatment of Syphilis!

Consequences if syphilis is not treated!

If syphilis is not treated, it may develop into neurosyphilis, or cardiovascular complications, or destructive lesions of the skin and bone may...
