What is Blue Waffle Disease?
Blue Waffle is a hypothetical sexually transmitted disease that was said to turn the vagina blue and distort it. The myth was first begin in 2010 and later went viral via online fraud where it was told that it is threat to women’s health.
It is a hypothetical sexually transmitted disease that affects only women. “Blue” means “symptoms” and “waffles” means a slang term for vagina. There is no evidence that the disease exists and is just a rumour that spreads on the Internet.
Symptoms describe that the vaginal area turns blue and there are many life-threatening STDs that do not turn vagina blue.
Truth About Blue Waffle Disease.
Blue waffle disease does not exist. It is an unclean STD which has arisen from online rumours. It is assumed that woman’s genitals may look blue and sometimes show scabs or wounds along with these rumours.

The Internet is full of incorrect data about this unclean state, and its definition differs between websites.
Rumours say blue waffle disease affects only women. However, most STDs have an impact on each men and women, but the consequences for women can be very serious.
The alleged causes of blue waffle disease range from poor hygiene to having multiple sex. Some websites also claim that men will get a blue waffle, though only women are inspected by the UN agency for poor sanitation.
This is not true. Poor hygiene or repeated sex does not vary the colour.
STDs With Blue Waffle-Like Symptoms.
STDs such as chlamydia, gonorrhea and protozoal infections will not have the symptoms that are related to imaginary blue waffles.

Infection usually causes inflammation. Some canal infection class measurements are transmitted through the penis, while others are thanks to hypersensitivity or change within specific chemical or microorganism balances within the vagina.
