Syphilis is a rare sexually transmitted disease that causes serious health problems and complications if left untreated. This disease has stages and many symptoms. Both sexes can get it, but it is curable and certainly preventable. Syphilis is a serious sexually transmitted disease. It can be contracted sexually or orally, regardless of age or gender. The infection is a spiral-shaped bacteria that grows on mucus in the genitals or mouth. Syphilis has three stages, the first stage being the presence of painless ulcers, also called chancre. The open sore can develop anytime within ten to ninety days of contracting, which is currently very contagious. The next stage is where symptoms actually start to appear, this is called secondary syphilis. It occurs weeks or even months after the first stage and can last up to a month. This stage attacks the body's systems and several organs. The most common symptom at this stage is a rash that is not itchy and may be difficult to see. The rash can be passed to a person if the infected person gets it on their hands....
