Eric was in the shower and called Roddy over. After whispering, Eric said he put some ointment on it but that he is worried. They were laughing and he said he didn't sign up for this.

Did we ever find out what Lisa has/had. If Eric has the same thing she does it doesn't sound to good. All the HGs need to be careful.

Thing is, if it had been a spider bite, don't you think they would have at least briefly mentioned it on the TV shows? I mean she was sick in bed for what, 2 days? How can you NOT mention that. Well, you can't if she is sick with something they would rather not talk about.

If you have to use seat protectors, she refuses to mention what she really has because it's emabarrassing, they don't ever seem to wash their hands after uhemmmm, then he probably has it. If where he has is where I think he has it (made Roddy look last night while behind shower door fully nude) then my advice to him is don't let someone touch your uhemmm unless you know where their hands have been. (This is one of those talks all parents should have with their sons during adolescence).

Earth -- wash hands after using WC or wash hands after fooling around? Seems a bit 'too little too late' to wash hands after fooling around. Yannoe? lol

the fan I'd be requesting several cans of lysol in the DR and spray down everything in that house three times a day. LOL. That Hammock would be soaked in it.

They still have a long time to go. If all the HGs get sick, it will really be a problem. If Eric stays, we'll have to watch for signs of general illness like Lisa had.

(I noticed that right after the shower, Lisa was a lot more smoochy toward Eric than he was toward her.)

Can't you just see the girl Eric was seeing laughing if she reads these boards? I know if I were the one he left hanging I'd be thinking it served him right to get whatever it is Lisa has.

Short of wearing one of those protective suits the CDC wear, I'd want to take an anti-bacterial bath twice a day while wearing flipflops, and using cloths and towels I washed myself. Needless to say, I would insist on doing all the cooking. "No, I don't mind -- I prefer to make the salad, really."

Wasn't one of the first things we learned about Lisa's "bite" is that it wasn't contagious? I'm pretty sure we heard that unless things changed while we were being kept on FOTH lockdown.

If it really wasn't contagious, then why order toilet wipes for the hamsters?

Lordy, Lordy, What will Marcellas do when he finds out the Eric MAY have "it". Don't you know he will just hit the panic button and run??? lol There will not be enough Lysol or any thing else to kill germs for Mar.

Ellen my understanding was to protect Lisa and the other houseguests from germs and/or bacteria.

Ellenkats

Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 01:47 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Rethinking, they prolly meant 'not contagious' as in 'ordinary' contact wouldn't infect. If you cover the seat, no one should be affected. Of course, they misjudged this fluid-sharing group. Ugh.

LOL. granny I would love to see Marc's reaction if Eric has caught it. That DR entry would be priceless.

>>I would love to see Marc's reaction if Eric has caught it.<<

Sounds like a cute caption idea for the Marcel eyes wide open thread in the caption contest.

Although some of what I'm going to say was already covered on the Lisa/bite thread, I think it bears repeating here.
Assuming (and I have the impression that we are here) that what Lisa, and now maybe Eric, might have is herpes simplex, I think it would be good for people here to understand the virus and how it is transmitted to avoid perpetuating some misunderstandings about the virus and the people who have it. As someone who has the virus, it bothers me a bit (okay, a lot) to hear/read all the talk here insinuating that catching the virus is due to gross uncleanliness and lack of personal hygiene. That is absolutely not true. In fact, the virus is only transmitted through intimate contact (contact of a contagious area of the skin with a mucous membrame)with someone who is already infected, and is either shedding the virus without symptoms, or has an active outbreak. A person can be infected and not know it, and a person can pass on the virus unknowingly as well, through contact of a contagious area with a mucous membrane. The virus is fragile and does not live on surfaces such as toilet seats.

Lisa's symptoms sounded very much like an initial outbreak, which leads me to wonder who had it first, also considering that among other things that can trigger subsequent outbreaks are stress and something in peanuts that can cause an imbalance of amino acids or something in the body (couldn't find any info today to substantiate that, it's something I'd come across before and have found to be true in my case).

Anyhow, an interesting statistic - (I'll post a couple links below to substantiate that I believe are valid sources), about 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. have genital herpes, and about 90% of those are not aware they have it.
I'm hoping that those of you who are being hard on these people for their hygiene, etc., (especially relative to whatever Lisa and maybe Eric are dealing with) maybe will think twice before getting too carried away here... thanks!:)

Good for you Dodonjo, it is always important to stay with facts, and it is hard not to guess, and speculate... I have wondered too if it wouldnt be a wonderful service for BB to also educate viewers!! BUT then again, that would really be reality, and heaven forbid we have reality on a reality show!

As far as not showing her 'bite' or whatever it is on the show.

Last season of survivor Tammy got pretty sick. I assume a cold or flu. She talked about it in her interviews. She said Kathy took care of her. Tammy said that is when she realized she liked Kathy much more than she realized before.

They never showed that, and that was way more integral to the story line.

Whatever Lisa has (I still think shigles) is a medical condition. Maybe they want to keep it private for her. Maybe they are just waiting for it to run its full cycle and then they can show it all in one show. It isn't a soap opera. BB3 doesn't need to be about - 'How's Lisa's bite tonight? Swelling gone down?'

It isn't a soap opera????? QUICK SOMEONE FED EX ARNIE. He seems to think differently :)

Dedonjo doesn't Eric fit the criteria though to be able to catch the virus? He's had intimate contact with Lisa.

Oh my goodness! It can't be true!

According to the Centers for Disease Control, a positive indicator for Herpes is tough tingling toes!!!
