A team of epidemiologists has detected the presence of dermatophilosis, a bacterial zoonosis, in a group of gay saunas in Lyon, France, after a dozen men developed skin lesions. The disease is typically transmitted through contact with infected animals, but in this case, it appears to have been transmitted between humans, raising concerns about a potential outbreak. The affected individuals are being treated, and health authorities are investigating the source of the infection.
