Its funny how all it takes to stop outbreaks like this is something as simple as ppl washing their hands. I guess we can blame this on all those ppl you see in the public restrooms coming outta the stalls and walking right outta the restroom without even washing their hands... bunch of gross fucks in this world.
Every year something like this happens and they give it a different name, mad cow, west nile, pig flu, anthrax, sars, whatever you wanna call it. Its just a ploy to get ppl to spend money on unnecessary health items. There is no way that face shield company would still be around if it weren't for all these ridiculous health scares every year.. but hey maybe people will get paranoid enough that the spending will pull the U.S. out of recession.
I had cellulitis in my leg during the staph outbreaks a year and a half a go. My leg was so swollen you could not see my calf at all.
When the doctors told me I had "cellulitis" I was thinking, "are you saying I'm fat?" lmao

That shit scares me more than any of this bullshit they're talkin' about on the news.
I went home to visit the family for x-mas 2 years ago. I had cut my leg at work, no big deal just a small cut. A few days later my leg was red and painful, the next day red and purple and extremely painful. My mom said it was nothing, the next day it was worse with a red line going up my leg ending about a foot from my crotch. I was like FUCK THAT, I need my nuts hah.
I'm allergic to Penicillin, which is the best treatment, so I got some other shot in the ass (no homo) which did nothing. Eventually I ended up hospitalized on x-mas eve with an IV. They pumped me full of anti-biotics every 4 hours for an entire day. Horrible shit.
I'll get the pic up soon if my pops sends it to me
This stupid bitch at my work came in with a 102 degree fever and a cough that sounded like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing together. I was like "you look and sound like shit." as I stood as far away from her as possible. Then this dumb broad says "well atleast I'm not puking today like yesterday and the day before." Our GM sent her home but still, come on. I don't think it was anything but who the fuck goes to work like that in general?
