Chinese Bankers Catch STDs After Counting Dirty Cash

Two bank tellers in Wenzhou, China have been infected with genital warts after gynecologists told them they caught the STD from touching dirty paper money. Most likely, according to doctors, the women were indirectly infected after handling the dirty money and using the bathroom without washing their hands prior.

One teller, a 30-year-old, claimed the only person she was sexually active with was her fiancé, who tested negative for any STDs. The other teller, who chose not to be identified, claims she has had no prior sexual experience.

According to doctors, most STDs, cannot usually be spread through mere contact with dirty toilet seats, shared utensils, public swimming pools or money. However, genital warts can be spread through skin-to-skin contact, even when no warts are visible. According to Planned Parenthood:

Remember to always wash your hands after handling money, and it may also be smart to avoid cash transactions altogether if you are ever in Wenzhou, China.
