What about Super Gonorrhea? I hear that’s the new thing...

It turns out that "super gonorrhea" is indeed a global health problem. Neisseria gonorrhea has the ability to mutate and become resistant to antibiotics. So much so that the WHO has classified it as a "Priority 2" microorganism. They are very worried that they may not be able to cure it in the near future. First-line treatment is usually an intramuscular injection of Rocephin and some oral azithromycin, otherwise known as a "party pack" in the ER. But there is a strain that is resistant to this treatment, as well as strains that are also resistant to third-generation cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones! There is no vaccine for gonorrhea, but pharma is working on it. If you do get "the clap" your chance of a cure is 95%. So keep it wrapped.
