And to think the army medics said I didn't catch it from a toilet seat...

A dip in a hot spring served as a source of infection for an 11-year-old Austrian girl vacationing in Italy with her family. 

The girl contracted gonorrhea while bathing in the Lake Specchio di Venere, also known as the "Mirror of Venus," according to a study published in the Journal of Medical Case Reports in September. Gonorrhea is a disease usually transmitted sexually that infects the genitals, rectum and throat, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said.

    Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. She got it from a hot spring.

    And when she's 12, it'll be an Immaculate Conception too.
    Pull the other one, it's got bells on it.
