Ok so the relation to the main character in this story is that someone who goes to my school knew/semi knew this person, or knew someone who did.

In an Italian restaurant in Maine a lady (in her 20's?) sent her salad back for whatever reason. The salad came back a long time afterwards and she ate it. The next day she woke up with cold sores in her mouth so she went to the doctor, who asked her what she ate, and she said she had a salad the night before. She brought in the rest of the salad (she hadn't finished it and brought it home) and they found...

7 SEPARATE matches for semen. 7, yes, 7. She has herpes now.

Oh yeah she is also HIV+...

I'm sorry I just wanted to see how people felt about that. Is that some degree of murder? Because she is gonna die from AIDS now... And I shared because that is just a fucked up story.
And before his first step... He's off again...

    That's what I said, so there is something about this that makes me not want to believe it.

    Sad story if it's true, but you can't get HIV from eating it, at least as far as I know.

    Pretty sure you've been stooged on this one. Firstly, the herpes virus does not exist in semen. It is only transmitted via skin to skin contact, when the virus is active, in the outbreak phase.
    Secondly, if it were even possible to get cold sores from semen, they wouldn't show up the next day. It takes 14 days or so for the virus to incubate before it moves into the active phase.
    As for HIV, while it's possible, it's highly unlikely. Transmission via the gastro-intestinal tract is difficult, because saliva and stomach acids tend to kill the virus. The most likely way for this kind of transmission would be if the woman in question had a cold sore or lesion in the mouth to begin with, and the virus was able to penetrate and move into the blood stream. Again, it's possible, but not likely. I am tipping this one is a new urban legend.

    I was stooged! That's what I feared, but I figured I would put it out there anyway.

    Still a good story though :D

    Wow, just, wow. Thanks for the info. I'm gonna deny the first person who says it to me tomorrow (I have heard it about 3 times each day for the past few days).


    Oh and that link up there isn't working for me

  • on a true story note

    my friends used to work at a burger place in el paso. for now we will call it "tonic"

    anyway, they had this one customer who would always order, bitching and complaining and yelling, and treating them like shit. but he kept coming back. he would usually order the corn dog. ...so....... my friends started getting the non cooked corn dog and scraping the bottom rim of the toilet with it. and anyone who knows , knows that the inside toilets are disgusting. so then they would fry it and serve it to him. he never complained or got sick. then when he was really bad they would rub in in there AFTER cooking it and serve it to him.
    i know people think stories like this are all urban legends, but talk to enough people in the fast food industry and you will see this probably has some basis somewhere.
    mean people suck!
    but nice people sw****w
