Re: Blue Waffle Infection (Really Gross)
Wow I hope now by the year of 2014 we have figured out that this is a fake. It was discovered a fake by a sex education teacher. After her video children asked her about the "Blue Waffle Infection" in which she was puzzled by. She asked the children to tell her what they knew about this STD. They told her that Blue Waffle could only be spread from female to male...(which makes us all ponder hmmm then how did the female first get it????!!!???) The next thing they told her is everything else that you see under this picture about the bruising and such. The teacher later searched everywhere to try and find out about this STD she had never heard anything about. The internet offered nothing but the same picture and desription. She the sent the photo to Dr. Amy Whitaker, an Assistant Professor of Obstetrics/Gynecology at the University of Chicago Hospital. Here is what she wrote: “There is no disease known as “blue waffle disease,” in the medical world. There is no disease that causes a blue appearance on the external genitalia. I had never heard of this until you wrote to our section…and asked about it. The common belief among medical professionals with whom I have spoken or e-mailed about this is that it is a hoax; the picture and “fake” disease used to lure people into some web site. The picture itself is disturbing. It does appear to have some ‘photoshopping’ effects in its vivid blue tint on some of the versions I’ve seen. It is also possible that a bluish appearance to external genitalia could be from bruising, which could result from force, most likely from a sexual assault. I can’t say, obviously, if that is the case here, but bruising certainly wouldn’t be bright blue. No STDS cause external bruising. Additionally, there appears to be one or two lesions, which could be an STD of some sort (for example, a herpes lesion), although it is certainly not clear from the picture. It even appears that there might be some sort of laceration on her right labia, a “cut” of sorts, but again it’s unclear. That could also be from force, or it could be an STD that presents with a lesion on the vulva. On the other hand, the entire thing could be ‘photoshopped,’ and nothing in it represents anything ‘real.’ In any case, this is not the typical appearance of any STD or any condition of the vagina or vulva. There are no STDs that go only from women to men. (Really now, how would women get them?!) The comments are so totally disturbing. The open misogyny and blame on women for having an STD made me sick…especially in light of the fact that I was thinking that some of the appearance could be from sexual assault.” Just thought I would share this. As a healthy female that makes sure I am educated about any possible sexual or any other infections when I saw this photo it absolutely freaked my out. I thought, " Wow when did I miss the news on this one?" Just thought everyone should know if they're looking at real or bogus photos! |
