he Bizarre Case of a Man Whose Penis Got Food Poisoning
It all began when a 38-year-old Lebanese man had what was described as “vigorous” sex with his wife after a meal, according to the NY Post.
Soon after, things took a wild turn: he started vomiting and suffering from severe diarrhea, and then his penis began swelling, reddening, and even scabbing.
This alarming situation continued for about a week before he finally sought medical help at the American University of Beirut Medical Center — where doctors discovered the rare and shocking infection.
Doctors Discover ‘Fried Rice Syndrome’… in His Penis
After examining the man’s swollen, scabby penis, doctors found Bacillus cereus, a bacteria most commonly linked to food poisoning—especially the type that grows on cooked rice left out too long.
This well-known phenomenon even has a name: Fried Rice Syndrome.
The twist? It’s extremely rare in a penis… making this case one for the medical books
Doctors Can’t Explain How This Happened… But His Penis Got Food Poisoning
Alright, last chance to click away. You could read about a lost penguin 🐧, the first-ever Pokémon card 🃏, or Greek villagers throwing thousands of rockets at each other 🎇… or you could learn about this horrifying medical case.
Doctors in Lebanon suspect that during vigorous sex, the man’s penis somehow came into contact with his own vomit and/or diarrhea. This, combined with increased blood flow from the activity, may have allowed Bacillus cereus—the bacteria behind food poisoning, aka Fried Rice Syndrome—to infect him.
Yes, this was officially published in The Annals of Medicine and Surgery, meaning other researchers are verifying it. So far? Totally real… and totally gross. 🤢
The good news: doctors prescribed a topical antibiotic to apply three times a day after washing and gently drying. The infection cleared up, and his penis is back to normal.
Moral of the story: don’t let your penis come near your own vomit or diarrhea—during sex or otherwise. Stay safe, folks. 😬
