From the English Wikipedia:

A mohel (Hebrew מוֹהֵל moˈhel, Ashkenazi pronunciation ˈmɔɪ.əl, plural: מוֹהֲלִים mohalim mo.haˈlim, מוֹהֲלָא mohala, "circumciser") is a Jewish person trained in the practice of brit milah, the "covenant of circumcision."

Under Jewish law, a mohel must draw blood from the circumcision wound. Most mohels do it by hand with a suction device, but some Orthodox groups use their mouth to draw blood after cutting the foreskin.[1][2]

Holt (1913) reported tubercular mohels were transmitting tuberculosis to infant boys.[3]

The ancient practice (called Metzitzah b'peh) infects baby boys with herpes.[4][5] The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a warning in 2012 about the health implications of this practice, citing 11 cases of neonatal HSV and two recorded fatalities.[6]

A 2013 review of cases of neonatal Herpes infections in Israel identified ritual circumcision as the source of HSV-1 transmission in 31.8% of the cases.[7]

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is associated with ritual circumcision by a mohel.[8]

Four New York baby boys have contracted herpes from the mohel in six months.[9]

Pain

EMLA cream topical anesthetic may be purchased without a prescription. EMLA is almost completely ineffective against the pain of circumcision,[10] however it reputedly is popular with mohelim.
