  Speaker 3: Welcome back to another episode of Dirty Rush. Sorority houses

  Speaker 3: happens when something way less fun starts spreading.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: We are talking about the grossest, the sicknesses, the nasty diseases.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Jesus is right, the dirty diseases that start to spread
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: through the house.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: The worst, Yes, the outbreaks no one wants to have
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: or ever know about. I'm honestly on this episode, I
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: feel like I'm probably going to learn about some that
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: I don't even know.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, Yeah, I don't remember Daisy, like really
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: looking back getting sick in the house, I really don't.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: But I mean there's a long time ago, but I
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: know that you actually got really sick.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, living I got so sick. It was my freshman
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: year and living in the dorm. I actually got meningitis
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: and I was a meningitis like outbreak at my school.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: If you google like SCSU meningitis twenty seventeen, like there's
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: a bunch of articles and it was like me and
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: one other girl, and it was like all over the
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: news on that time when we got like admitted to
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: the hospital, and it was crazy. And then literally so
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: many girls from SCSU, especially in my sorority, even if
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: they had a headache, because that's one of the signs
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: of meningitis, would go to the hospital and the only
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: way to test for it is to get a spinal tap,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: So like all these girls were showing up getting spinal taps.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: My god, yeah, wow, later a second, So how did
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: you figure it out? Do you? Just like what happened
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: with the symptoms the symptoms.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: I was in the library studying with my roommate and
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: then we went back. It was probably like midnight, and
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: I was like, my head's kind of hurting, but I
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: used to always get headaches. I took some advil or tylenol,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: fell asleep, woke about like three, and I was like, oh,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: my gosh, it hurts so bad. So it took more
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: of whichever one I didn't take, and then I woke
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: up in the morning and I was like, I cannot
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: go to class, and she was like you have to,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: like we're gonna have a quiz today, and so then
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I went to class. And I was like sitting there
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: and it was like biology went class, yeah, and it
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: was like biology World of Animals. I had a hat
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: on and my sunglasses and I just like was not
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: paid attention, and all of a sudden, I like turned
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: to look at her and there was just a shocking pain,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: like it was the worst headache I've ever heard, and
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: it just like went down my spine, and I just
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: got up and I walked straight to the doctor on
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: campus and I was like, something's really wrong. And then
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: they were like, we think you might have meningitis. And
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: so then Wow sent me to a hospital. And then
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: that hospital said I just had a migraine and to
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: go home. So then I went home to my dorm room.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: When I was sitting there and all of a sudden,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: like this was probably like a couple hours after I
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: had left the first hop hospital, and I was sitting
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: there and I was like, I all of a sudden,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I couldn't feel like I couldn't move and I was
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: like laying in bed. See it was crazy. So then
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: a guy that lived down the hall came to our room.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: He was like one of my really good friends. Picked
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: me up, like carried me downstairs. My roommate's brother was
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: a senior at the time when we were freshman, and
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: so he came and picked us up, drove me to
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: like a different hospital that he knew was like a
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: better one. I think we were at scripts there, but
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: then they like right away, like they took me back
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: right away, and then I like budget the whole like
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: everyone in the yard line, and they just like brought
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: me back. And then we were in there and it
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: was like my roommate her brother, and then a nurse
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: and then a doctor came in. He's like and they
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: were like, there were a couple other nurses in there.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: He was like, everyone needs to get out. Besides like
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: my roommate and the nurse, they were like, you.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Like, everybody has to put on a right It's.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Like, yeah, everyone that came in was in like full on,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: like covered and every second nobody could come in and
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: see me.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Yet I can't even imagine being a frooutd glitch. Yeah,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I and get an aingitis. My husband got meningitis and
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: it was bad. I didn't actually man, but he talks
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: about it how it's really it's not fun at all,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: horrible and scary. So yeah, I can't imagine a little daisy,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: little freshman daisy getting.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I know, it was crazy, and then my mom came
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: out like right away because you can like die from it.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: So I know. So, was it your first semester? Do
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: you remember?
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was my first semester. It was end of
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: October because I remember being so bummed that I missed Halloween.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like the worst. I just can't imagine your brand.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Everything is brand new, You're trying to have a good time,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: you're trying to acclimate, and then this. I'm surprised you
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: went back. And if I was your mother, I probably
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: wouldn't let you.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I know, it was crazy. I went home for like
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: a good amount after because I was like so weak
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: and I had lost so much weight and so I
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: like needed to like get healthy.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Well, listen, we're going to bring in our first caller
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: to tell us another crazy story. This is like I'm
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: feeling like, I'm glad we scheduled it now because I
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: haven't had anything to eat a couple hours and I
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: probably won't. I'm also a hypochondriac. Well, we can talk
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: about that. In college, whenever anyone got anything I thought
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I had it. If I was sick in college, I
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: get oh my god, I would lose my mind, like,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: oh my god, this is it. This is you know,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: this is the big one. Yeah, And I'm.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Like, yeah, well, good thing you're not. I can say
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: you're not going into college right now after talking about all.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Thank you, while I still probably going to be busy
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: to night thinking like oh I think that headache went
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: right down to my spine.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah right, okay.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: You guys, So we are going to welcome in Rebecca.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Hello, Rebecca, Rebecca. I feel like so many weird things
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: happen in college, So tell us about what you experienced.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: I feel like I definitely got a fair share of
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: diseases while I was in college, from black mold into
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: my dorm to also handfut no, yeah, handy.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Now if my kids got that, that's I thought that
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: was like just a little kid's disease. Not to see them.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: It's from preschoolers actually. And it was crazy because I
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: was still living in the dorms. So I was in
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: a triple and it's kind of one of like the
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: nicer ones, like all the other ones have communal bathrooms,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: but ours bathroom was inside our dorm, which I was
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: like thank goodness, because I was already so nervous about
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: going and like having communal bathrooms. But I had two
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: other roommates. We were in bunk beds and we were
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: going out. It was post initiation. I think this was
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: like this was Fashian year, so twenty twenty two. Yeah,
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: it had just been initiated and we were like going
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: out and it was like the pre parties in Exchange
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: and our motherhood. I know, the best time. Our brother
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: frat was Sae and they had done like an event
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: with the local preschool and we had kind of heard
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: that maybe hands, foot and mouth is going around, but
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: in order to go out at school, you have to
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: go to the pre party in Exchange. So we were like,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: what if we get it, Like we have to go
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: out like us freshman, like following all the rules right,
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: like we have to go to the pre party and
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: then after like we'll just go out, we'll have fun
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: and do whatever. And so we're obviously like all sharing
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: drinks and blah blah blah, and the next week I
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: am so sick. And for me, I'm one of those
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: people like my like spot that I is, like my
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: weakness is like my throat, like I will get strapped
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: throw a terrible like sore throat and that's when I
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: know I'm like sick. And so I was going in.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, maybe it's just strup, like we'll see.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: And like my roommates was a doctor, so we were
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: facetiming him and he was like here, like open your mouth,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: like let me see, Like what are you feeling.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Like before I was.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: Going to like the local like school nurse like pall
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: POOLI I was like, please if anything, rather than going there.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: So He's like, you have like all these like red
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: dots like in the back of your mouth. And I
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: was like, oh my gosh, I feel like that's not strap.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: I feel like maybe it could be mono. But like
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: I had it once like in high school. So I
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: was like, I feel like you only get that once, right, Yeah,
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: And so anyway, I it was like stat in our
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: group me like a hundred times, like all the guys have.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Hands foot the mouth.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: And so I told my roommate that and I told
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: her dad and he was like, didn't want to say
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: it to me, like on the FaceTime. So he was
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: like texting her on the side like I think she
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: has that like.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Why because it's just like you think that he thought
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: you were going to think it's so grosser, Like.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Who was like, I don't want to be the barrier
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: of bad news, Like you can tell her. Yeah, it's
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: like me telling my mom. I was like, Mama, handswood mouth.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: She's like you're lying, like that's a joke, like preschoolers
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: get that, Like how did you do that? And I
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: was like no, like seriously, I haven't. And so I
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: went to the doctor like the next day, and like
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: it kept getting worse, like I had it all over
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: my hands.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: It looked like it's like blisters, right, yeah.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: So it starts in your mouth, I guess like depending
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: on the person, it starts in your mouth and then
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: like goes to your hands. And then my roommates were like,
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: you need to like leave, like it's like such a
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: tight area in there. You feel like you're in like
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: one little small like cubicle. And it's like yeah, And
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: so luckily I told my mom. I was like, mom,
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: like I think I need to fly home because one
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: I don't want to give my roommates this, and two
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: I'm literally thought I was going to die because it
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: was so bad. Were itching, they were hurting. It was
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: like blisters, and it was like my freshman year.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: I was like, I class, that's horrible. I know, how
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: long did it last for?
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: It honestly lasted like a good chunk of time. They
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: put me on like antibiotics, and it like started to
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: get better. But then I had like these weird like
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: scarring on my hands and.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you still you're not still scarred from it?
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Are you?
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: No? Thank gosh, imagine I was four years later, five
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: years later, yeah, And then in my mouth it like
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: started to get better, but it like honestly felt ten
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: times worse than strap throat because I think like bumps
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: in there, Like it's so funny. I literally found a
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: picture the other day, like came back in my flashback memories.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: It was like, please never show me that ever again.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: So it's still like traumatic.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Was your roommate freaking out, like don't give it to me?
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Or did they handle?
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: They were very sweet. It was like me and one
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: girl that like chose each other from like Instagram and
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: they are like our like random roommate who was the
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: sweetest girl ever. But she like did not rush a story,
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: like she didn't understand the concept of like going out
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: and like doing all that stuff. So she's like this
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: like I think scared her even more and like validated
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: her decision why she did not want to rush and
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: like go through any of it, even like go out.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: I was like, you have to sell, like this is
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: just like the most extreme thing ever. But I was
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: more at the beginning, like what is this? Like I
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: had not really even heard of it, like seen it.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Oh for sure, I don't think I knew what that was.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: I actually learned what it was last year because I
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: was watching this Netflix show what is it called. It's
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: called like receivers about like different NFL receivers, and it
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: was like alm and ros Saint Brown had it during
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: one of the games and he was like it was
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: the most painful thing, like catching the ball.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: I feel like it spread so easily too, especially with
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: it being on my hands.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did all the boys know, Like were they were
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: they all getting sick?
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Yes, they were, like all six. So like after it
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: was like probably like a week since they had done
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: like the like little charity like event. I think they
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: had to go like and like read books to like
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: the little kids, which was so peper, Like, oh my god,
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: how sweet of them? And then bring us this like
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: nasty thing. But I mean like I feel like that's
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: kind of like what you get from like sharing things
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: that like preprising exchanges and stuff for sure.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: And I feel like out in college, everyone's just like
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: they're just going out and even if they're sick, people
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: still go out.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Still go out, and like just like don't even think twice,
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: which I feel like, yeah, you didn't really even think
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: about that. But it honestly lasted for them like a
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: good period of time because it was like all of
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: them living in the chapter house and then it was
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: like some of them had it, and then like another
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: group people have had it because like they didn't know
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: they had it and they just kept spreading it all over.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: Your friends have it, Yes, they all stay in one
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: room together. I'm like, no, I need to go home.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Like I am like so like gross sad about that stuff.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: And I like couldn't even believe I had it. I
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: was like I need to go home and be nurtured by.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: My mom and like yeah, yeah, oh my gosh, for sure,
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: that sounds so painful.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was definitely painful, one of like the most
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: painful like sicknesses I've had.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: It's funny because I remember, like I don't even remember
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: that my kids had it, but I know all there
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: are so many little ones that got it, my kids.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: I didn't even realize it was so painful. I thought
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: it was just like you would all of a sudden
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: see like a rash on the bottom of their foot
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: or something that. But I can be remembering it wrong.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. Maybe like as you get older,
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: it's like either like more intense less intense, like who
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: knows or if I've had it. But I am was like, yeah,
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: you didn't get this in preschool. Now you're getting it
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: your freshman year of college.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Right right, Yeah, it's so crazy. Okay, we have our
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: next collar in and it is Savannah. So Savannah I
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: heard a little bit prior only like the name of
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: what it is. But what is norovirus?
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah? So norovirus was something that I think spread through
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: my school last year in the spring. It was spreading
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: around the US and a lot of people had really
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: really crazy cases of it. But basically picture like the
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: absolute worst stomach bug, stomach flu like food poisoning times
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: a million. Unfortunately, it's extremely, extremely contagious and living in
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: a story house obviously is probably the worst place to
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: have something like that spread.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Definitely, Yeah, I was.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: I was just thinking, I don't even know. I'm fifty seven,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: I don't really even know what it is. I don't
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: remember ever having it or my kids having it. But literally,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: weirdly today I was with this woman and she was
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: carrying something called like prequil and her car was like, oh,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: what's that? She said, It's to prevent neurovirus, and I
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: am constantly putting it on my hands because I'm so
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: paranoid about it. I'm thinking, what is the big deal about?
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I don't I never really like, I never really heard
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: of it, had you.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: J Zy, No, I haven't. Intel Literally right before that
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: we got on this, right, it had a.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: Sim spread in terms of the spreading of it. I
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: think honestly the closest equivalent would be COVID just in
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: terms of how quickly and how easily it can spread.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: But it's it's just effects a very different part of
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: your body. In affects, right, Basically, if you were to
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: get food poisoning, that's exactly what would happen to you.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: So it's the full like throwing up issues were ye, Yeah.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, do you know, like I mean, it was I
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: know you said it's so contagious, but was there one
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: person who or would you the first person you knew
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: that got it? Did you spread it funny stories?
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: I actually didn't even know I had it, which I
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: think might be the worst part, because I genuinely thought
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: I had food poisoning. And when you have food poisoning,
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: obviously you know you are personally affected and it's awful,
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: but at least you know, yeah, saying you're right. I
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: thought that I was like just dealing with a really
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: bad bout of you know, some sort of expired berea situation. Yeah,
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: But it turns out I actually was basically bedridden for
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: seventy two hours. The only time I got up was
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: to use the bathroom, and it was always in a panic.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: It was always in a rush.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Oh for sure, Were you like so dehydrated?
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: Oh my god, I remember like uber eats sing like
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: uber eatsing, that's not even a term, but like I
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: just remember constantly having to have gator ead in my
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: room and the only thing for seventy two hours I
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: could stomach with saltines. But I really just thought that
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: I had some sort of bad food poisoning. And then
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: the next week, I ended up going to my story
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: house for dinner and I sat down with three of
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: my friends and they were all chat chatting, and I
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: was late to the conversation, so I didn't know what
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: they were talking about. And they were saying, Oh my gosh,
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: like I'm so glad, I'm better. It was so hard
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: last week to be in the guest room. And I'm
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: listening to them, I'm like, what do you mean? And
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: they had said that multiple of the girls in the
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: house had to quarantine in guest rooms of our storty
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: house because it had spread and we got change side effects.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: And it turns out all of us had the exact
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: same experience and then all been feeling the same way
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: for at least three days straight.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: And when my sorority, we like all had like everyone
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: kind of like shared like the bathroom, and it was
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: like stalls, Is that how yours?
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Was?
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So our our bathroom situation is each bathroom has
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: like three not really stalls, but each has like three
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: private bathrooms in the same area as like the showers
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: and stuff. So there's just like absolutely no like there's
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: no way to avoid cross content or anything like that.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: It's test like if you go I mean, you thought
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: you had food poisoning, do you go to does a
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: doctor I don't know, like take a swab or to
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: even know that you have.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: So it is like a similar it's a similar process
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: to COVID, I don't Yeah, it's a similar process to
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: COVID in which, like you can go to the doctor
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: and ask for a test. Most of the time what
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: they'll tell you is simply to quarantine, and it's just
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: something that as soon as you get it, like there's
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: kind of no hope to avoid it. It's like if
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: you're exposed to it, you're gonna get it.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's awful. So, like you're in the house,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: it was about getting it to other people. Did it go?
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Did it just spread so quickly?
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So honestly, people started dropping like flies. I remember.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: I mean, since I didn't live in the house, I
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: didn't even realize like how bad it was until the
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: next week. I literally was off the grid for like
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: a week, Like I swear my friends were like where
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: are you or you okay? Like I am bedridden, like
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: I cannot move. I had to obviously email professors, let
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: them know, I couldn't come to Like I literally didn't
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: go to class for three days because I was worried
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: if I wasn't next to a bathroom, like something was
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: it was.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: It was bad.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: In terms of it actually like spreading through my Storty house.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: I think it was a bit of a similar situation
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: because two years prior in my Storty House, we had
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: a different chef and apparently he was unfortunately known for
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: oftentimes giving like uncooked chicken, and yeah, girls were used
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: to getting food poisoning, and so I think it was that.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Before you fired a guy.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: I know he fired and the new chef is awesome,
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: but I think some of those older girls were like,
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: oh my gosh, the new chef is also yeah, it's
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: from that, it's from that. And so again, no one
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: really knew because I think kind of similar to what
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: you guys are saying, like who we've I like, who
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: knows what nora virus is? Like, I don't think I
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: didn't have the same sort of effect as COVID in
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: terms of like everyone knowing about it. So a lot
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: of people just assumed, like, oh, it's not anything like
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: super crazy.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Did anyone have to go to the hospital.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: One girl had to go to the hospital.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: One girl was in the hospital for a week, and
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: I think it had more to do with dehydration and
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: a lack of fluids that she had to be pumped
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: up to an ivy, oh for sure.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: And everyone had like the worst stomach stuff, nausea and
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: throwing up. To me, that's the worst. I mean, yeah,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: there are things are worse, but like worse than a
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: throat thing, worse than like yeah, it's just like that.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: The nausea is so horrible. I can't imagine it going
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: on for that many.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Days, right, yeah.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Bad.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: It's also bad because even for me for three days
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: to not have proper food and not have proper nutrients
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: to notice it, right, you genuinely can tell like oh this,
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: like I don't feel myself and I can't imagine. Like
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: my friend who was in the hospital for a week.
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: I remember she came back and everyone was like just
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: feeling super like are you okay? Like are you yeah?
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: Just because it's it is scary. It's also scary to
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: think it's something that you'll pass in like twenty four
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: hours and then sticks with you for a while.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: I was crazy because how long did you say it
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: was like three days.
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: I had it for three days, and I think I
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: had it Honestly, three days was insane, But I think
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: I had it better than most because I was in
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: my own quarantine. I lived in a like a small room,
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: and I was able to just kind of hunker down
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: for a couple of days and just like literally talk
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: to no one, do nothing like being sick.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: And then the girl next to you was puking next
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: to you.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, yeah, feeling sick like that is like horrible,
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: like right when you're like like until you're like right
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: about to throw up, just like sitting there, you can't
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: think of anything.
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: The nausea was so honestly, was so bad, and unfortunately
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: I don't know what I did to deserve it. I
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: had more of the stomach rather than the nausea, so
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: like I'm like, I had like cramping that I cannot
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: even explain the amount of pain it was. Oh my god,
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: it was so bad. It was genuinely the type of
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: like the only thing you can do to have any
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: sort of relief is like fetal position, like that's your Yeah.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: At any point, did you think about going to the.
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: Hospital, Honestly, I made a mental note. I said, if
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: this goes past seventy two hours, I need to like, yeah, Walter,
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: because it was at the point where like I was
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: more so worried about not getting proper nutrients and like
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: being able to I don't like anything.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's a long time about having any food
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: or did your mom freak out?
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: Oh my god.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I tried well.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: I tried to explain it to my parents, and they
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: were more My mom has like the craziest like god reflex.
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: She's just like no, she literally didn't let me explain it.
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: She's like, I am so sorry you're going through that
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: and hung up the phone. I can't I can't listen.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: I can't listen. So I think they didn't really get
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: how bad it was, because I almost I don't want
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: them to take out. They're not, like they don't live
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: in the city with me, so like there's something they
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: can really do about it. And honestly, I think my
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: mom was grateful. I didn't get for more details.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, did they ever even sent her the podcast? Did
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: the school ever send out something like on campus, like
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: saying this is going around?
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: To be honest, my school sends things like that all
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: the time. It's not just like health wise, but they're
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: just constantly sending news blasts, constantly sending like yeah, safety
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: updates and news about the local area. And I think
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: if anything like that was actually sent, no one would
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: have even like read the email. Like it's like, I
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: don't think anyone would have would have kept kept an.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Eye out for any sort of art.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I.
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: Think the same thing happened in a different sorority like
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: weeks later, and so it was crazy that it just
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: like managed to make its way through and just like
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: take it out.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, listen, it's something to remember. Maybe it's
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: a great memory that you can commisery with all the
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: other girls, Right, I think I ever got anything when
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: I was in living in the sorority house. I don't
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: think I did, but yeah, I mean it just sounds
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: so miserable.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's definitely a fun Maybe not something i'll remember positively,
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: but it's definitely something i'll remember.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Exactly I remember it about it.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Sorry. Yeah, our next caller is Charlotte, and I think
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: she has quite the story for us. Hi Charlotte, Hi Daisy, Hi.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Jen that I'm a little scared of what's to come.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, I went to a big party school and there
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: was a lot of herpies that went around both and
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: down there nasty yoh. So for the oral story I have,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: we obviously went to fraternities all the time, and this
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: was before COVID, this was before people cared about germs,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: and we would share a like, you know, fifth of alcohol.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: We would all pass it around and drink out.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, for sure, that's what we did all the time, right,
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: did important cups or anything.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: And there was a guy in the fraternity at the time,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: my friends and also I was there that night, none
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: of us, but he had a active cold sore herpees
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: scab on his lip, and we were all sharing and
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I somehow got lucky and some people did not. And
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: my friend woke up like a couple of days later
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: and she had a herpie on her mouth, as well
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: as four other girls we know in different sororities who
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: are also there that night.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: And is it like, once you get it, you have
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: it for life. Yeah, so it would like flare.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: It's flared up ever since then. They will continue to
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: get these herpees. I don't know if like I don't
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: know the details, but they still have issues with it.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's so sad. Can it show up down there
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: if you get it up here?
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: You can't.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: I don't think it can.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: But I do have friends as well in college who
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: would hook up with guys who would have a like
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: a scab, a flare up like down there.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: And wouldn't do anything about it and wouldn't wear a condom.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: So I've had multiple friends in my sorority who also
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: have gotten herpes down.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: There and now have forever.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Because these guys wear condoms more than.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Girls like I have. You have to give me their
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: phone numbers. I'm furious. I know, I don't understand. Where
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: are their mothers?
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I know you should not be sharing drinks and you
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: should be wearing condoms.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: It's like, oh my gosh.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: You probably learned that lesson. If you get herpes sexually transmitted,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: you probably, like from the probably will wear a condom. Then,
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: I would think for the rest of your life.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: So did were herpes a big thing when you were
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: in college?
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: No?
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: At least, I mean I didn't get it. There was
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: a lot of crabs. I mean, do you guys have crabsnea?
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: But not? Yes, you know, yeah, there was crabs was huge,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: and crabs. I don't know if there are some girls
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: listening who are freshmen or whatever. Just just be careful
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: because in your pubes oh my god.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: Also like college guys like they they get around.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, but listen to condom can't save you
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: from crabs. I even think you can get it. This
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: is a lot, you guys. But like bugs can jump
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: off onto a toilet. Oh my god. I've even heard
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: of pubic lce and that's what I think. Guess what
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: it is the same thing I think. I don't know,
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: not to mention so many of these things are sexually transmitted.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, like the HPV of it all, you guys
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: probably got guard to sel. I would think, yeah, right,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: so there's no guard to cell when yeah, you know,
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: and HRV is serious and it's so Yeah. The moral
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: of the story, listeners is Daisy be safe. Where safety girls.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: That's awful.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just had to share that with you guys,
