Syphilis is a disease of lust that has been killing the world for over 500 years and changed the course of history. It hasn't gone away and people are still getting infected with it. Syphilis spread like wildfire across Europe, turning bodies into living mummies. Ulcers and decay were hidden under wigs and graceful beauty spots, even the richest couldn't avoid the terrible disease.
