It ‘s been a long time babies…
I know…
But school has had me slaving to it’s wishes…
So now I’m back and I brought you some juicy and succulent news…
Raise you hand if you’ve ever heard of Circumcision Blood Sucking…
Well I for sure have not…
But the ultra-Orthodox practice of metzitzah b’peh requires a practitioner to orally suck (nope, that wasn’t a typo) the baby’s penis to ‘cleanse’ the open wound following its circumcision.
In New York City, New York, many Orthodox Jews are observing this practice…
And many babies are beginning to suffer because of it…
This practice has left two infants infected with a deadly herpes virus in the last three months after undergoing a controversial religious oral circumcision in New York City.
The latest cases bring the count to 13 infants since 2000, two of which suffered brain damage and two died from the virus which can rapidly spread throughout its body.
ABC News reports:
One of the two infected babies developed a fever and lesion on its scrotum seven days after the circumcision, and tests for HSV-1 were positive, according to the health department.
The health department had issued alerts about the two latest cases — on in January and one in March — to urge all medical providers and laboratory staff to inquire about “direct oral suction” during a circumcision when evaluating newborn males for sepsis and to consider herpes.
“A herpes infection in a newborn baby has the risk of leading to severe illness and death,” said Varma. “The reason is that the baby doesn’t have the same fully developed immune system as an adult. Instead of staying in the genital area, it extends throughout different organs in the body.”
The practice seems unwarranted, risky, dangerous, and borders on pedophilia.
The more than 5,000-year-old religious practice of circumcision is performed during a Jewish religious ceremony known as the bris, which is observed by Jews of all denominations around the world.
But not all people of the Jewish faith practice this ritual.
The modern Jewish community uses a sterile aspiration device or pipette to clean the wound in a circumcision. About two-thirds of boys born in New York City’s Hasidic communities are circumcised in the oral suction manner, according to Rabbi David Zwiebel, executive vice president of Agudath Israel of America.
In 2003 and 2004, three babies, including a set of twins, were infected with Type 1 herpes; the cases were linked to circumcision, and one boy died. Another died in 2010. In the last decade, 13 babies in the city have contracted the virus, and two have had brain damage, according to health officials. All were circumcised by the metzitzah b’peh method.
Wow…
I’m all for religion…
Believe whatever, whomever, and however you want…
But I draw the line at sucking baby boy penises…
