The city Health Department has reported a new case of neonatal herpes caused by a controversial ritual Jewish circumcision. The ancient practice — known as metzitzah b’peh — requires a mohel, the person performing the circumcision, to suck blood from the incision on an infant’s penis. It has long been linked to neonatal herpes and has consistently raised red flags in the medical community.


Glad the Red Flags were raised

how many circumcisions like this are performed annually?

seems outrageous this could be legal. i can't imagine a parent allowing that to happen.

The Catholic Church should have made it an "Official Tradition" to initiate Alter Boys and they would have been fine.

According to the Health Department, 24 cases of herpes have been linked to circumcision since 2000. Two of the infants died and two others suffered brain damage. Last year, there were two cases. In 2015, there were three cases. Since 2006, 22 percent of all male neonatal herpes cases were linked to ritual circumcision.


I can't even blame George W. Bush for this!

that's just 24 times sucking on an infants pecker has led to Herp 4. do you think the ceremony is carried out more than a 1000 times per year?

Leaders of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community have opposed any restrictions on the centuries-old ritual as an infringement on religious freedom. Mohels who perform the circumcisions are not even required to be tested for herpes, according to Health Department rules.

Jody I post about this a couple times a year and am amazed how many people are fooled into mutilating their newborn's penis in the name of ancient mysticism.

I have been arguing with my mother tonight. She asked me, "Do you remember being circumcised?"

My answer, "Yes...it hurt!"

It is Genital Mutilation...PERIOD!!!

PS-- I am pretty sure I cried!!!

it doesn't really matter which side of the circumcision debate you may be on.

Sucking blood from an infants penis is just a crime against nature. Or at least it should be.

If a snake bit you Rebel, I'd suck the venom out to save your life.
