Scabies is spread by prolonged skin to skin contact, or contact with the bedding or towels of someone that has scabies. You can NOT pick it up with a handshake or a hug. You can also get it at a swimming pool. Unfortunately, in a third world country like Cuba with its water shortages, it is possible for scabies to spread. People end up carrying and storing water in containers / buckets that might be subjected to multiple use. For example, you might use a bucket to wash your clothes, then use the same bucket to wash your 10 year old kid, then use the same bucket to take a shower yourself.

What have you been drinking? (Le compré a un tipo una botella de un aguardiente hecho con metralla. Me di unos tragos why el tipo se me acercó de nuevo).

K-gardens and army barracks are full with scabies. Nothing to do with swimming pools. As your chances to get is on a trip are around 10%, just use 5% permetrin lotion and keep spare clean set of clothing.

I also had scabies 3-4 times. This is a miserable and hellish disease, though not dangerous. Scabies is a variety of lice that live on your body and not in your hair. Technically it is NOT a sexually transmitted disease. It is a disease of hygiene. Most people with scabies are children. Ask a doctor. Scabies is rampant in Cuba, though less so than before. There were a couple of years it was really out of control. Scabies love the hot wet climate.

In conclusion, be careful. Either don't go to Cuba or stay in clean and meticulous houses, wear condoms and seek women who are not prostitutes. PS: Cuba, while very healthy for a Third World country, it is very easy to get ameobas or giardia. Diarrhea and common colds are frequent.

Hi, I'd like to knows if in Cuba there is "mercado nigro" for euros. Is there a good change rate?

Thanks, Fox

I picked up Giardia once, I think in Costa Rica, holy crap what a miserable six weeks of life!

[Questner]

there is plenty of aids, chlamydia and scabies in cuba. my ex-girlfriend (the mexicana doctor) worked in cuban hospitals and studied medicine for 8 years in cuba. she insists there are many, many, many, many cases of aids in the cuban hospitals. we'd be wise to believe her.

though i always use condoms, i had chlamydia three or four times. that's because i would wet my dick rubbing the front of their wet pussy before putting on the condom. chlamydia is not at all painful. it is detected with a [CodeWord109] test and cured with a single dose of antibiotic. it can make women sterile if not treated. otherwise it is nothing. (unless your wife finds out.) having a chopstick shoved up your urethra is a test for gonorrhea and is extremely painful. this test is no longer done (thank fucking god.) it has been replaced by a [CodeWord109] test. when sammytheman's "friend" got chlamydia, they tested him for gonorrhea and everything else.

last trip to cuba: amoebic infection (2 different types).5 months to diagnose and $60 to treat, influenza. immediate and $50 to treat, fungal infection. 2 months do diagnose and $30 to treat, and intestinal parasites. 1 month incubation and $25 to treat.

not fun at all

some claim cuba is full of std's. some claim it's almost disease-free. so my question is this: anybody caught anything nasty or half-way nasty in cuba?

my buddy got chlamydia. when we got back in february. all i can think of was that one night he used a cuban condom (not a good idea) and it broke. he says it was the worst pain in his life, especially when the doc shoved a chopstick in his urethra. he was pissing hot sauce for the next few days. me personally don't get hard at 4am after heavy drinking and smoking, so i prefer bbbj and so far so good, knock on wood.

I've been to Cuba many times solo and with lots of friends and so far so good. Probably 1000 bbbjs and never a problem. I know of a few Cuban guys that have got an STD but that's because of not using condoms. If you ever do have a problem there's great international hospital very close to Casa de la Musica in Miramar, open 24 7 and it's cheap. I've had to use it a few times for other reasons-basically dumb ass accidents after too much Havana Club. My advice, don't ever use the condoms the chicas provide, they are usually cheap and old and often dried out, they will also try to charge you for them on occasion. They often hand these condoms out at night clubs etc and promote safe sex to prevent the spread of aids. If by chance you forget your rubber, go to the pharmacy it's across from the hospital I mentioned, they sell good quality stuff. You can also go to the clinic downstairs at the Habana Melia, they always have a doctor on call. Have Fun

Here's a question that might be a bit controversial, but nevertheless relevant IMO.

Lots of talk of STD's. Some claim Cuba is full of it. Some claim it's almost dicease-free.

So my question is this (now that we're all fairly anonomous anyway) : Anybody caught anything nasty or half-way nasty in Cuba?

Let me start out by saying 'no'. Then again, I never go bare all the way (non-pros included) , but do like the BBBJ.

There is an Italian site on this forum you can find where they have all the current parties and what not.

Really? Where?

[Tibu1969]

I was there in April. 2011.

- Clubs: Are the old haunts like Johnny's, La Cecilia, Salon Rojo, Casa de La Musica, etc still open?

All mentioned clubs are still open. However, hardened pros only.

- Any new clubs in town worth visiting?

Check this site for uncommon locations:

http://www.invasor.cu/foros/viewtopi...e235d&start=90

- Are places like La Rampa, the Malecon, Calle 23, Calle Obispo etc still heavily patrolled by police?

Yes, of course. And there are cameras in all of these places.

- Anybody had any success with the social networking sites? Badoo, Cybercupido, etc?

Sorry, no experience with that.

I would appreciate any advice from you guys who have been there in the last few months. [/QUOTE]

[The Dirty Pirate]

Police are around, but like usual if you know what you're doing you shouldn't have a problem. Just educate your newbies and those clubs are still going. There is an Italian site on this forum you can find where they have all the current parties and what not.

Its been almost a year and a half since I've been to Cuba. I'll be there soon and knowing how things change like the wind, I need some help. I have enough permanent contacts to keep myself busy, but I'll have some newbies with me who like the clubs, etc. I warned them that they are full of hardened pros, but they don't care (youth does that).

Cuba does have its economic difficulties, do doubt greatly impacted by the blocade that has existed for many years now.

This blocade benefits two groups, the Miami Cubans and the existing "power elite" within Cuba. We know those cubans in S. Florida, don't want to give-up all that $$$$$$ they get from every american tax payer for "democratic" efforts in Cuba. They are pigs.

And the blocade give the power elite in Cuba a convienient excuse too. They are pigs too, but to a lesser extent in my "pinko" opinion.

Yea, the youth are bored. This is true. But, no less bored than poor folk from any country you may choose from around the world dreaming of Amerika. The difference is, the Cuban government has decided to educate them so they are more keenly aware of their circumstance. I know this is difficult for them. Ignorance is indeed bliss (e. G, the general American population. "educated, but can't't think below the surface. Like robots, this scares the shit out of me!)

To bring some civility back into the topic. Cuba has gone to shit because that is what economically unviable places do. It is suffering from economic exhaustion and a bored rebellious youth with no opportunity. Tourists may have exacerbated the situation but it was going to happen unless the powers that be change the system

[Kalifornication]

My god, thank you for the compliment, I am flattered.

Yes, you are correct, I am a "pinko", but tell me, what does the use of the term mean to you? Is being a pinko -ipso facto- somehow akin to being a bad bad person, . The boogie man? Do pinkos frighten you or make you uncomfortable? I think your use of this term is juvenile. And I am smiling.

Nope, it just came to mind after I read your BS. You don't seem to notice that your were the one using "canned stuff" of the socialist type. Nowhere in my post I was blaming fidel as you assumed, but you saw a Cuban posting and you had to use your "pink" line. YCFUBT pinko!
