Just in Time for Pride Month!

 It's Pride Month!

A New York City man has caught a form of sexually transmitted ringworm — the first known case in the U.S., researchers have announced....

 ...The U.S.’s first positive case is in a man in his 30s who developed tinea on his penis, buttocks, and limbs after returning home to New York City from a trip to England, Greece, and California. 

“This sexually transmitted form of ringworm has been increasingly diagnosed throughout Europe, with 13 instances reported in France in 2023, mostly in men who have sex with men,” the news alert stated. 

The infected man said he had multiple male sexual partners during his travels but did not note similar skin issues in the other men. 

Yup.
