If covid and monkeypox wasn’t enough, experts are now warning of a new potential “global health threat”

There’s fresh warnings for an alarming case of a drug-resistant ‘super gonorrhoea’.

An Austrian traveller in Cambodia has reportedly caught the new strain of the STI while on holiday in Cambodia.

It is thought the traveller caught the sexually transmitted disease after visiting a sex worker while in the Southeast Asian country.

Experts are warning the drug-resistant STD could pose a “major global public health threat”.

A report published last week in Eurosurveillance warned that the new strain could pose a “major global public health threat,” according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.

If multidrug-resistant strains of gonorrhoea start to spread, many cases of the STD might become untreatable.

While cases of drug-resistant super-gonorrhea are still relatively rare, numbers are rising.

Let this be a reminder to visit the doctor, in the U.S. gonorrhoea is one of the most commonly reported sexually transmitted infections, affecting millions of people around the world every year.
