Yup, just like the title says, believe it or not, I've been exposed to Scarlet Fever....

My son and his girlfriend came over yesterday and she had a rash all over her body. She told me it was a heat rash...but it didn't look like any heat rash I've ever seen.

Still, what did I do....like a doo-doo head? I drank off the same glass as her.

I mean, c'mon, who barely even knows what Scarlet Fever is anymore, it's so uncommon.

So, she calls me this morning and tells me she woke up with a fever of 104 and was puking, so she went to the doctor....aaaannnd, she's got Scarlet Fever.

Because of my job I had to call my primary care doc and they told me to right away go to an emergent care clinic to get tested, and to get a 'script for antibiotics.

I get to the clinic and my temp is elevated by two degrees and my glands are just starting to f'n swell and be sore. Heh, I got the 'script. I just took two tylenol to get the fever down a bit.

Can't go back to work until Friday, maybe longer if I'm sick, but I won't be contagious anymore by Friday morning when I have a work run.

I swear to Gawd, harhar, how does this happen?....I mean, there's only about 20,000 cases of Scarlet Fever a year, and I got exposed?

Christ on a cracker, life is full of surprises!
