It’s easily treatable IF it gets diagnosed. Since the typical symptoms are painless chancres on the genitals which resolve in a few months (while the spirochetes continue to burrow deeper and deeper into the body), a LOT of folks just ignore those minimal symptoms, if they notice them at all. And if the disease advances to tertiary syphilis and it can be a real bugger to try to cure.

Today I learned that a chancre is not a person who works at a chancery.

I always spell the lesion “canker”.
