Am I crazy or are these boys doing a little more then wrestling.
An outbreak of herpes gladiatorum among Minnesota high school wrestlers led the state to suspend matches and halt contact practices, authorities said Wednesday.
I can see the commercial now…
Wrestler 1: I have Genitaladiatorum Herpes.
Wrestler 2: And, I don’t.
W1 & W2 (together): And we like to keep it that way.
W1: That’s why I’m taking one a day Valtrex.
Announcer Guy: VALTREX is for adults with healthy immune systems and is available by prescription only. There is no cure for herpes, and even with treatment, it may be possible to spread herpes. VALTREX may not prevent all recurrences. To avoid a potentially serious complication, tell your doctor if your immune system is not normal because of advanced HIV disease, bone marrow or kidney transplant. Common side effects include headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, dizziness, cold, and sore throat.
