San Francisco

Living on the streets. Serious sores and internal infections.

A doctor chirps in on Twitter.

Retired doctor and Microbiologist here. I hope Public Health in San Francisco are checking this out, because if I'm not mistaken, that sure looks like cutaneous diphtheria to me. Highly contagious disease, usually from the tropics which causes epidemics among humans. Bad news!
