FACTS ABOUT BLUE WAFFLE DISEASE
According to information gathered, this disease was claimed to be a deadly disease that affects only women, they said that it has no effect on the male counterpart but that is not how sexually transmitted diseases work. From definition, sexually transmitted disease is an infection that is passed from one person to another through sexual contact.

They claimed that the symptoms of blue waffle ( vagina ) disease includes ;- unusual odours/ vaginal discharge- Itching, burning and swelling around the vagina- Burning sensation when urinating- pain during sex .
Although all these symptoms are attributed to many sexually transmitted diseases, they cannot be attributed to blue waffle disease because none of the above symptoms have the ability to turn the vagina colour to blue colour.
According to ” verywellhealth “, the blue waffle disease myth started as a bait-and-switch meme. Posting an image of a blue coloured waffle ( vagina) , the prankstars challenged users with the text ” Bet you can’t find me on Google image search”.
The disease which the prankstars claimed was sexually transmitted created a whole lot of panic , it made people especially women to feel so sexually unprotected and exposed. However this condition is not real . It does not exist and has never existed and hopefully it will never exist.
Verywellhealth suggested that while it is possible that the image was doctored, it is more likely that the vagina was stained with gentian Violet. This blue waffle disease has provided means for many people to create and upload many sicknesses which do not exist online. Some do it for fame and attention while others do it just to create fear and fear in people’s life.
