Yikes. This poster was designed to be scary. During World War I, syphilis and other sexually transmitted infections were a serious concern for the armed forces. Postersfrom the American Social Hygiene Association (ASHA) bombarded new recruits with the dangers, both physical and social, of syphilis and gonorrhea.
Fortunately, August von Wassermann had developed a method of testing a patient's blood for syphilis antibodies in 1906. The ASHA was careful to avoid stigmatizing the disease itself, but was quick to condemn anyone who was careless about its transmission. The Wassermann test removed the excuse of ignorance. If the test came back positive, the unfortunate patient could be cured with Salvarsan, an arsenic-based medicine that was painful, required up to 50 injections over a year and a half, and caused nausea and vomiting. But at least it sometimes worked!

For the next 4 days, we're taking a closer look at antibodies—since they're always looking out for us. ?? #HistMed #MedHist #AmericanHistory #MedicalHistory #STEMhistory #HistSTEM #DiseasePrevention #Vaccine #Vaccination #Antibody #Antibodies #AntibodiesWeek #IronLung #HistTech #TypographyTuesday #GraphicDesign #PosterDesign #HealthCare #PreventativeCare #MilitaryHistory
