Winter Springs, FL, a city in Seminole County that borders Lake Jesup and the Spring Hammock Preserve, is in the midst of an STD outbreak. Chlamydia cases are skyrocketing in the county. Over five years, between 2014 and 2018, the number of new diagnoses jumped from 1,469 to 1,984.
Gonorrhea is also on the rise with new infections increasing from 303 in 2014 to 646 or more than double in 2018. Syphilis is also creeping up with 27 new diagnoses in 2015 rising to 36 in 2018. The county only had two reported cases of congenital syphilis between 2006 and 2016. From 2017 to 2018, they had four newborns with the dangerous infection.
