In recent years, Syphilis has been making a major comeback.

In 2018 the rates of the disease were at historic highs in the Prairie Mountain Health region.

It’s something PMH has been dealing with since the end of 2014.

In 2014 there were two cases of Syphilis, by August of 2018, 31 cases were reported.

The total could go up because they are still investigating cases.

Across the province, 350 cases were reported compared to 118 in 2014.

Syphilis was passed down by mothers to newborns ten times last year.

The increase in cases is likely from the increase in crystal meth use.

Using a condom is the best way to avoid spreading syphilis.
