Gonorrhea Is Resistant To Most Antibiotics...Good Thing We Have Herbs. 

According to the CDC gonorrhea (aka "the clap") is officially resistant to 1 of the 2 final antibiotics left used to successfully treat the disease.

These two antibiotics (according to NPR) are in the same family, so it's only a matter of time before it's officially resistant to both. This is one more good reason to reserve the use of antibiotics to life threatening conditions only. This alone can slow the process of more bacteria strains becoming completely antibiotic resistant.

Gonorrhea is a bacterium, bacteria are smart! They were here long before us and I surmise will outlive humankind. They morph and change to suit their surroundings and can circumvent antibiotics that man comes up with. When you get gonorrhea as a man, you may have painful, burning during urination or discharge from the penis. With women it's a bit different and can manifest itself in the form of Urinary Tract disorders such as UTI's, pelvic pain, painful intercourse, discharge and so on. However 50% of women are completely asymptomatic, meaning they show no symptoms.
