ISIS militants reportedly being attacked by serious skin disease

Islamic State fighters are being attacked by a debilitating skin disease called leishmaniasis.

The disease, which is spread by sandflies, is quickly spreading thanks to pollution and poor hygiene conditions and there have been more than 100,000 cases reported, British media outlets reported earlier this week.

The jihadi fighters are refusing medical treatment which has led to more outbreaks, according to the reports.

Medical centers have closed since medical staff have fled the violence making the spread of the disease more acute, according to the reports.

Dubbed “Rose of Jericho,” the disease is caused by protozoan parasites that belong to the genus Leishmania and is transmitted by the bite of female sand fly that bite infected rodents called rock hyraxes.

Cutaneous leishmaniasis is the most common form of leishmaniasis, while visceral leishmaniasis is a severe form in which the parasites have migrated to the vital organs. The infection appears as red sores (hence its nickname) on the skin a few weeks or months after being bitten by the sand fly that erupt weeks to months after the person affected is bitten by sand flies. The infection can also damage the liver and spleen and cause anemia. The sores can cause permanent, ugly scars if untreated.

Israel launched a program to fight the spread of the serious skin disease in 2012.

hopefully it doesn't spread to civilians.

That is some Biblical shit.

 

[DarkKyo]

Haha. The animals got bitey flies on them.

 

[Escape Goat]

and hopefully it cripples ISIS.

 

[TAJ]

Since when are there even 100,000 ISIS fighters?

 

[jett]

That is some Biblical shit.

And Passover was only just last week. COINCIDENCE? I think not.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

Good.

 

[Mr.Swag]

Thanks, CIA.

I believe this somehow lol

Argo was some crazy shit

 

[BobLoblaw]

The daesh deserve it.

 

[Jenov]

Thanks, CIA.

lol

 

[lastplayed]

How do they come to the 100,000 figure of cases when they are refusing medical treatment and medical centres are shut down?

 

[Sayter]

Nano machine Sand Flies. Finally our trillion dollar defense budget shows results.

 

[injurai]

That is some Biblical shit.

 

[TimeEffect]

Since when are there even 100,000 ISIS fighters?

Yeah, Im sure there are some innocent victims out of this, wonder what the ratio is to ISIS jerks

 

[Speevy]

 

[Mohonky]

Yes well, if you want to live in the stone age......

 

[BigJonsson]

And Passover was only just last week. COINCIDENCE? I think not.

Passover is still going on

 

[Byakuya769]

Hyranxes aren't rodents.


And, GOOD.

 

[Sayter]

Yeah, Im sure there are some innocent victims out of this, wonder what the ratio is to ISIS jerks

Probably counting their hostages as well.

 

[Crud]

That is some Biblical shit.

heh.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

I worry about their captives, they are suffering more than enough already.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Heh... the outside reflects what's inside in this case, huh?

My only concern are their captives and hostages.

 

[Loofy]

Oh man, those are some gruesome google search pictures.

 

[F0rneus]

Oh no. Such sad, sad news. T_T

So s...Hehe. Sa...Hahaha. SAD HAHAHAHA.

 

[RadioHammer500]

 

[DeadlyParasite]

Scumbags carrying out barbaric medieval punishments on other people being affected by something like this seems fittingly ironic. And of course their recklessness endangers innocent lives as well.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

That ending was so disappointing.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

I'm sorry for the hostages and victims.

 

[wenis]

Oh no!

 

[Brakke]

Hyranxes aren't rodents.

"They are often mistaken for rodents, but are more closely related to elephants."

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

 

[SmithnCo]

The jihadi fighters are refusing medical treatment which has led to more outbreaks, according to the reports.

Nice

 

[AcademicSaucer]

That ending was so disappointing.

By the interviews, they thought people were going to like that ending but were caught by surprise when the people watching cheered for gerard butler's role

 

[Banana Aeon]

Just deserves. Good job, Sandflies.

 

[jblank83]

The jihadi fighters are refusing medical treatment which has led to more outbreaks, according to the reports.

Yeah, you just pray that skin disease away.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Seem appropiate.

Since they reject the modern world, they should reject modern medicine as well.

 

[RustyNails]

How do they come to the 100,000 figure of cases when they are refusing medical treatment and medical centres are shut down?

Yeah I tried searching for sources but mirror and jpost are the only ones reporting it.

 

[Mohonky]

Since they reject the modern world, they should reject modern medicine as well.

Who'd have thought murdering people en masse would have such negative effects.

 

[F0rneus]

Yeah, you just pray that skin disease away.

The funniest part is that I'm not Muslim or even religious, and I still know the direction to pray in the Islamic faith, while ISIS doesn't according to pictures we've seen haha.

Pray the disease IN you fucks, lol.

 

[Speevy]

Guys, we didn't drop the plague on them. This would have affected the innocent people in this place regardless of ISIS.

Right?

 

[Ms.Galaxy]

The balance of the universe. They want to live in medieval times, they're going to die like they were in medieval times.

 

[NaturalHigh]

Hyranxes you da real MVP.

 

[Mohonky]

Guys, we didn't drop the plague on them. This would have affected the innocent people in this place regardless of ISIS.

Right?

Lets see......

You kill lots of people and leave their desecrated corpses around for display
Cut off access to or kill anyone capable of being of any use during disease outbreaks
Run a society of your own backward interpretation that shuns the scientific advances made over the past few hundred years

Kind of inevitable when holy war is considered more important than functioning modern society.

 

[cackhyena]

Wipe them all out. Feeling for anyone stuck in captivity by these dicks, though. Not that they had much of a chance anyway. Ugh.

 

[hateradio]

"They are often mistaken for rodents, but are more closely related to elephants."

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

Needs some tusks, but the paws are kinda interesting.

 

[Byakuya769]

"They are often mistaken for rodents, but are more closely related to elephants."

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

Look at that little guy! He's so pissed that people thought he was a rodent.

 

[werks]

Right?

leishmaniasis is nothing new, US service members got leishmaniasis is iraq also.

 

[Violet_0]

Since when are there even 100,000 ISIS fighters?

I wonder how long it takes for people to realize that 99%+ of the infected are probably not terrorists

 

[888]

So have the sand flies been more effective than human led nations?
