Syphilis: A Little Valentine's Day Love Story

Photo Credit: The Royal College of Surgeons of England We don't know much about her. We don't even know her name. What we do know is that the woman who wore the above prosthetic in the mid-19th century was suffering from a severe case of syphilis.

    Hahahahaha. I was trying to figure out what part of it was a "love story," but that ending cracked me up.

    Also, I had no idea that syphilis could have such crazy symptoms! Scary.

      Syphilis is seriously messed up.

      But yeah, when I got to the end I felt like "awww how sweet."
