Tuberculosis - worrying
Gonorrhoea - not so worrying. Just use contraception. Even if you're a lesbian.
Klebsiella - more worrying. Typical of urine and chest infections but so common in urine that I now don't treat unless symptomatic
Typhoid - as long as you're vaccinated, should be cool
Syphillis - over the past 20 yrs or so, there's been an increase in diagnosis esp in elderly population who were in the forces during "the war" (WW2); causes neurosyphilis iirc.
Diphtheria - child killer. Vaccination has been instrumental.

Bear in mind that routine school TB innocculation was stopped about 20 years ago. Forward thinking at its best.

I've still got my scar to prove I had the inoculation.

So do I! Mine is 4 dots in a square. I'm sure that in junior school I had tests to check my immune reaction to TB too, that must have been around 97-98

I was vaccinated at the age of 13-14 so mid90s. Everyone got a heaf test and only one person had a reaction. Everyone got vaccinated in the school.
