Shigella : "This disease has gone from being relatively treatable with off-the-shelf drugs to being close to untreatable over the course of the last decade or so."

But its not just passed through sex, contaminated raw veggies too .. need to get a test to see if it is shigella and anti-diarrheic meds can make it far worse.

"While it may be tempting to try to stop the diarrhea, these drugs work by slowing down the movement of your intestines [3]. In shigellosis, this “traps” the bacteria and their toxins inside your body longer, which can lead to severe inflammation" https://incitefulmed.com/resources/guides/shigellosis-patien...
