You just broke my heart......
Syphilis goes dormant for many years after the initial exposure. If I recall correctly it can be up to 15-20 years.
By then many people do not recognize the symptoms. Uneducated people do not always go to the doctor too.
Greetings,
Scott R. Brown is right on about the dormancy issue.
The thing about this disease is that it is never erradicated. It can only be forced into dormancy. There have been cases of reactivated syphilss. A lot of people do not know this. This may have been the case with YCF. He may have had it addressed only to, unknowingly, have it resurface years later.
As far as YCF having this I have heard it before. It is no big deal to me.
