Could mouthwash combat gonorrhoea?

"A gargle a day keeps gonorrhoea away" is an unlikely slogan, but researchers believe it could hold some truth.
Recent studies have shown people can carry the sexually transmitted infection in their throats for weeks or months without symptoms.

And they could spread it to others through unprotected oral sex.

So investigators are looking at whether regular mouthwash might help stop the silent spread and experts think it is an idea that is worth exploring.

(continued, experts?) :think:
What will the world be like after its ruler is removed?
