A sexually-transmitted "superbug" that is on the verge of becoming untreatable is sweeping across Britain, health experts warn. Cases of the drug-resistant gonorrhoea strain have been confirmed in West Yorkshire, the West Midlands, London and the North East.
Experts fear it will soon develop a resistance to the second drug - and there are no others in reserve. Health officials are urging the public to limit casual sex and wear condoms with a new partner. More than half of women and one in ten men never see symptoms so may pass on the infection unaware. But they are at risk of serious complications and untreated, the disease can cause infertility or inflammation of the womb. It is particularly dangerous for pregnant women and may lead to miscarriage, premature labour or sight problems in the baby.
Doctors are also worried as the strain is now being reported in gay men so may start spreading even more quickly.
Gonorrhoea is the second most common STD after chlamydia and is spread through unprotected sex.
Celibacy will be the only friend for Brits very soon.
