I am a spiralla shaped bacteria disease typically found in tropical, warm, and crowded areas. I affect you skin at first but can potentially infect your joints.

Yaws is a chronic, relapsing infectious illness.

[Maddy Rose @Treponema__P]

Yaws is most common in children living in tropic areas ages 2-15.

The bacteria only affects humans! This is why scientists believe they can completely eradicate it in the future.

[Maddy Rose @Treponema__P]

Yaws can be cured with a simple vaccine by the name of Benzathine Peneciline.

As it progresses (it might not) depending on the person, it could begin to affect your bones and cartilage eating away at it.

Yaw affects the skin first, within the first few weeks of being infected lesions will start to form on the skin about 2-4cm in diameter.

Yaw affects the skin, bones, and cartilage.

The bacteria transmits into a non infected person through skin to skin contact with an infected person that has open lesions #ewe

¨yaws" was discovered in 1905 by Aldo Castelani. Between 1952&1964 WHO had a mass treatment for the disease, and reduced the amount by 95%

I am gram-negative so I stain pink, this could mean that I belong to the Archaebacteria kingdom. BUT I am in the Eubacteria kingdom #wow
