Another major herpes outbreak

November 19th 2008

TMZ.com is reporting :Another major herpes outbreak — and once again the herps perps are accused of being wrestlers. 

Almost one year after a herpes outbreak brought high school wrestling in Minnesota to a stand-still, three new wrestlers from York College have filed a lawsuit, claiming they got the herp and all the fixins after grappling with an infected teammate. Symptoms were — but were not limited to — a “thick crust of dried puss,” itching, swollen lymph glands and … embarrassing talks with the GF and.

The boys are suing their coach and trainer, who told ‘em not to worry about the fact their herped-up teammate was coming back to practice after three days, rather than five, as the NCAA stipulates.
The suit also points out herpes simplex 1 is often referred to as “Herpes Gladiatorum” — Latin for sweaty boys all over each other.

They want $50K from the school.
