A new clinical trial is about to get under way for "female Viagra!"

Say whaaaat??

Yup! It's called Tefina and it's a testosterone gel that women spray up their nose about an hour before doing some sex.

Not as sexy as discreetly popping a pill but hey whatever helps ladies get their rocks off!

The drug is expected to be able to boost female sexual arousal and satisfaction.

It's actually causing some controversy because

This is just awful.

It was just the other day that we mentioned that the fungal meningitis outbreak had spread to its 19th state and made 347 people sick.

It's still continued steadily getting worse, with the death toll rising to 28!

We previously mentioned that the fungal meningitis outbreak is far from over… and sadly, that's been true.

The outbreak has now spread to 19 states and has made 347 people sick!

Rhode Island became the 19th state to report that the outbreak has affected someone.

This is getting ridiculous!

We've said it before but still, we're so thankful that it's not contagious.

Massachusetts health officials are moving to revoke the license of the New England Compounding Center who's contaminated medications started this whole outbreak.

We think something fundamental needs to change in the compounding pharmacy industry so that something like this never happens again.

Check out the video (above) to hear how the FDA is responding to this crisis.

Dr. Rydze, a former doctor for the Pittsburgh Steelers, is in trouble after buying a suspiciously large quantity of anabolic steroids!

Hmm… a football doctor buying tons of steroids? We wonder what those were for…

Maybe a game of medical darts where you use the butts of NFL players as a target and instead of just pulling the "dart" out of the "dartboard" you push down on the plunger first.

Repeat this every few weeks for a fun doctor game/great football season.

We're just joking though, because the feds don't list the team or any of its players as having gotten any of the illegal substances.

We guess drug testing in the NFL is too rigorous.

The Steelers president said:

We previously mentioned that a fungal meningitis outbreak has happened because of drugs from a contaminated pharmacy.

So far, 15 people are dead and at least 200 others are sick.

The FDA is widening its search for the cause of all the meningitis, believing other drugs might be causing the problems.

An infectious diseases expert said:

New Jersey's Health Department is going to issue their first license that will allow a marijuana dispensary to open up!

Yep! You heard us all you New Jerseyans!

In Montclair, the Greenleaf Compassionate Care Center will be the first to open its doors in the state, having finally cleared all the hurdles and cut through the last of the red tape.

Gross!

If you're eating anything, we recommend you stop because it's time to talk about gross bugs.

Maggots to be specific.

Maggot therapy was first used in the time of Napoleon, and through the civil war and world war one.

What happens is when maggots are placed in an open or necrotic wound, they feed on
