Public health posters are used to spread awareness about issues such as sexually transmitted diseases, how to identify health issues in advance and the latest treatment trends.
They’re a helpful and necessary part of the public health care system, and they're quite effective at spreading the word, but something about these posters makes them come off as creepy.
Maybe it's the myriad of maladies present, maybe it's the disturbing artwork meant to scare people into caring, or maybe it's the fact that people need to be told "Don't Sleep In Rat Infested Houses".
Whatever the case viewing these vintage public health posters may result in a feeling of unease and a mild case of hypochondria!
