The shigella infection Shigellosis, is easily contracted from exposure via contaminated shit. In the queer population it can be transmitted through sexual contact, though it can also be transmitted through inadequate hygiene around water, handwashing and food preparation via someone who is infected. It can therefore be contracted sexually from sucking someone who has fucked someone with Giardia, or from ass-to-ass transmissions from fisting, fingering and fucking. It would also be possible to be spread from sharing contaminated lube. It is good fisting hygiene to use gloves and to not share lube. | The shigella infection Shigellosis, is easily contracted from exposure via contaminated shit.

Because of the chronic diarrhoea it is important that you keep hydrated, drink plenty of water and use a rehydration powder like Dioralyte to replace lost salts and electrolytes. Because of stomach cramps, bloating and nausea you may find it difficult to eat, in which case eating soup or protein or meal replacement shakes may help as a temporary measure. | Because of the chronic diarrhoea it is important that you keep hydrated, drink plenty of water and use a rehydration powder like Dioralyte to replace lost salts and electrolytes.
