Hey Clopitor_the_Hydrogenous, who gives a fuck where you're from? It's the Internet you asstard. |

I pee out of my penis. What is the point? |

Zoonoses? |
| ProfessorOfHoers #1382000 2 months ago |
that's stupid. Piss and shit come out of our erogenous zones. It's just life. Either go for it or don't. |

Just one word: spa >>176373
Well, two words: spa, condoms. |

@Professor
But the diseases are still true. |

Close up view of human skin 
That's what a model looks like under a microscope. |

And humans can carry Herpes, and Syphilis, and aids, and typhoid, and gonorrhea, and warts, and HIV, and can transfer bacteria, thrush, sores, etc. through intercourse.
Again, I don't see the point of this. |

@Professor
But humans are easier to know if they are carriers or don't. |
| ProfessorOfHoers #1382037 2 months ago |
If you can find out how a human is a carrier (example, they are responsible enough to let you know ahead of time) then the same could be said of Applejack. |

@Professor
Uh, no. Some zoonoses cannot be detected. |
| ProfessorOfHoers #1382054 2 months ago |
Well, if you really want to have sex with Applejack and don't think Zecora, Equestrian medicine, or Unicorn magic can heal whatever you might catch then use a condom. |

Any serious diseases people could catch from domesticated animals like horses would've afflicted our species ages ago, and we'd be immune. Children, even with their immature immune systems, don't die from kissing dogs and cats. Little girls don't die from mounds of wet and dry horse crap and pissed-on straw in stalls, or from stirring up and inhaling dust from the barns, or from riding and brushing their mounts and getting horse hair and sweat all over themselves. We've been around domesticated animals for thousands of years; any serious diseases they have, we've gotten, and we've become largely immune. There are a few rare exceptions. Cats can carry toxoplasmosis, but you contract that by changing their litterboxes, not by having sex with them. (Cats being way too small to have sex with is irrelevant, you wouldn't catch it from them that way anyhow.) And even that is harmless by and large. On rare occasions, if a woman gets it while pregnant, it causes birth defects. The one main exception is pigs; they have some physiological similarities to humans and the flu every year comes from wild ducks interacting with domesticated pigs, who then interact with pig farmers.
It's species you don't have around that you sometimes have to worry about. Toxoplasmosis, harmless to humans (except rarely, pregnant women), can blind and kill wallabies whose evolution didn't put them in close contact with it for thousands of years, and possibly might make sea otters ill. (Early news reports were wrong that people disposing of litter badly was killing sea otters. The strain they catch is the strain found in bobcats and mountain lions, not domestic cats. And the toxoplasmosis levels are higher in sea otters living off wilder coasts, away from human population centers.) Ebola comes from eating chimpanzee meat (the chimps themselves probably caught it from bats), SARS probably came from some sort of wild Asian rodent. Retarded children with pica, who like to eat handfuls of dirt, sometimes ingest remnants of raccoon feces and get terrible roundworms that burrow through their eyes and brains. But the roundworms in domesticated animals, even when we catch them, stay mostly-harmless in our intestines. Bubonic plague comes from fleas of non-domesticated rodents (black roof rats, and western ground squirrels, mostly). Other animals can have rabies, but so can humans. It's actually easier to vaccinate other animals for it than humans. Horses don't really have anything for a human to worry about. Zecora is a non-domesticated species, she might have tropical diseases you're not already immune to. Spike, Tank, Gummy, Owlowicious, and Philamena might have salmonella (it's not a disease to reptiles and birds), and the latter two maybe bird flu (which is dangerous if you get it, but even then is very hard to transmit from bird to human). Opalescence might give a pregnant mare or woman toxoplasmosis but is generally harmless. Winona and Opal are otherwise harmless. Five of the Mane Six, most of the background ponies, and the Princesses, should all be clean of anything a human needs to worry about (except those things they'd have to worry about even more with another human.) Fluttershy may have some zoonoses she picked up from her wildlife. She's never showed any signs of disease that couldn't be cured with a bucket of cold water, though. And a two-step transmission of disease (host-horse/horse-human) is even more unlikely than a one-step. Look at bird flu; even when you can get a zoonosis, the odds of it being adapted enough to pass from the incorrect host to anyone else is basically nil. |

On the other hoof, the picture is very funny. :-) |

That's a lot of information Ferrotter. |
