NEW YORK (AP) -- City health officials are investigating the death of a baby boy who was one of three infants to contract herpes after a rabbi circumcised them.

Ten days after Rabbi Yitzhok Fischer performed religious circumcisions on twins last October, one died of herpes and the other tested positive for the virus, according to complaint filed by the health department in Manhattan Supreme Court.

The complaint, reported in Wednesday's edition of the New York Daily News, also said health officials later found a third baby who had contracted herpes after being circumcised by Fischer in late 2003.

Under Jewish law, a mohel -- someone who performs circumcisions -- draws blood from the circumcision wound. Most mohels do it by hand, but Fischer uses a rare practice where he uses his mouth.

Fischer's lawyer, Mark Kurzmann, told the Daily News that Fischer was cooperating with the investigation, although it's unclear whether Fischer submitted to the city's request for a blood test.

"My client is known internationally as a caring, skilled, and conscientious mohel," Kurzmann said.

Definitely a sad case. However, what I'm still trying to understand is this circumcision by mouth?!?! WTF?! Someone please explain this to me, since my dirty mind needs some cleansing.

HAHAAHA...
What are you bill clinton? What do you think him putting his mouth down there could be considered as? You realize that HS Type 1 can be transferred to the genitals right?
Man, I cant believe how many people I have to smack around to get it through their skulls that herpes can be transferred to genitals by the mouth.

And some parents dont want their kids taking sexual education classes, and this is the exact type of problem that stems from it. Educate your kids, so they dont go around spr34din' da h3rp3s

Our pediatrician explained the procedure to us when our son was born and never at any point did it involve him putting his mouth on my son's genitals. WTF!!! That guy should be in jail. Sicko bastage.

BTW-We decided not to get my son circumcised. His hose is normal.
