2️⃣ Syphilis can also be gotten;

- from mother to her #fetus inside the womb

- through blood transfusion,&

- through breaks in the skin that come into contact with infectious lesions e.g. kissing a person with a mouth wound when you have a wound in your mouth!
3️⃣ #Syphilis may cause symptoms very similar to many other diseases. Hence it may be difficult to know you have syphilis.

That's why the disease is also dubbed "the great imitator"!

Not to mention that factoring the #microbiome/virome (+ the #pathogens that end up persisting in these communities!) into #ME/CFS 👉 allows “unique #infectious history” to factor into disease progression (w/ #chemical exposures/stress etc facilitaring pathogen persistence)
Also keep in mind pathogens can persist in #latent forms 👉 Eg: here Zika was shown capable of persisting in the #cerebrospinal fluid + lymph nodes of monkeys for months after the #virus had been cleared from peripheral blood and urine: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Ok that’s it for now 😅 Thanks for reading!
