Breaking News: Diphtheria Cases Spike in the UK! Hold onto your hats, folks, because three more cases of diphtheria have just been reported in the UK. This highly contagious and deadly Victorian disease has made a sudden comeback, surprising health officials and causing a bit of a panic. According to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), this is the first time we've seen new cases since the beginning of the year. So far, 77 asylum seekers who have arrived in Britain since 2022 have tested positive for diphtheria. That number was sitting at a measly 74 before the sudden surge in August. If you're wondering why we're seeing more cases, experts believe it's due to overcrowding and poor infection control in some processing centers, as well as a lack of proper vaccination among migrants. Diphtheria, if you're not familiar, is a highly contagious infection that spreads through coughing, sneezing, or close contact. It's no joke, people. Back in the Victorian times, it was a major cause of death, but thanks to routine vaccinations for children since the 1940s, it's become relatively rare. However, there's been a seven percent drop in teenagers receiving the jab last year, leaving them vulnerable to this nasty bug. If left untreated, diphtheria can also cause some unsightly ulcers on the skin. So, let's do our part, folks. Get vaccinated and help keep this Victorian disease at bay. Stay safe out there!
