A member asked:
Could you catch syphilis if someone were to contaminate food with the bacteria then you ate it?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
If the food was cooked after or was hot when the alleged contamination occurred, there is no risk. Even without heat treatment, risk of getting syphilis from food contamination is unlikely. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV vaccine.
