Anybody else.

do a google search on coconut and viral and you'll see a lot of at least anecdotal evidence that it might reduce the viral load. Read the works of Dr. Mary Enig. mg

Our Parakeet was recently diagnosed with Chirpies.

The vet said it was a canarial disease

But thank heavens it tweetable.

Nope. No signs of it yet! I think you first have to be exposed, right?

Wow... a rebirth of some very familiar seeming pointless 'GUEST' started threads, as well as a return of one of the most distinctive styles of asshole troll (here and here. Note the pathetic reiteration of "folk nazis" and the "inner clique".)...

Dear Dimwit,

Didn't you promise you were going away permanently only a few months ago? Can't you achieve arousal any other way?

You have your own website. Please stay on it.

When I asked the doctor what it was he said I had Hermes, I asked him don't you mean herpies, No he said because I was a carrier !!(HMS Hermes was an aircraft carrier)

This is a joke. I don't have herpies ask skipjack, he's slept with me, anyway you get ovalis from Sheep, not herpies.

I see it's "how may?" rather than "how many?"

As they used to say "I don't wish to know that. Kindly leave the stage.

Chanteyranger said "Heavens to Herpetroid"

Is that when your herpes inflames a bad bout of hemorrhoids?

Guest Challis said "I met a airline pilot once, called Frank Herpes - it's TRUE! His co-pilot was - something Danish and unpronouceable - Renko".

Was not the disease named after it's discoverer, whos last name was Herpes? Mind you, were that me, I don't think I'd want to use my name. Can you imagine having a none too common last name, and cursing yourself and your descendants to having that stigma attached to their name?

VD songs:

Streets of Laredo (Woolwich arsenal/ young man cut down in his prime etc lots of variants)

Any of those "she proved to be a fireship" sailorly euphemism songs - "let her lilly white hand on my reef tackle fall" etc. Here's a health to the doctor who's eased all my pain...

Whether these are specific to Herpes or some other form of Pox, I know not.

A final thought, Anyone who's been to Cambridge Folk festival is likely to have seen a chap who's name temporarily escapes me, late at night singing such Gems as "sausages are better than sex" and "torn between two plovers". He has a song about peas, the chorus of which is sung to the westminster chimes as follows:

I've got my peas, youve got your peas: He's got his peas, she's got etc...

Tune: The Sounds of Silence, Simon and Garfunkle.

Hello Herpes our old friend.
You'll be with `us 'til the end .
'Cause the virus softly creeping,
Left its genes while we were sleeping
Not integrated into our genome,
It'll roam, that episome.
The DNA of Herpes

Herpes simplex 1 and 2
Will forever be with you
On our gums, lips, eyes, or down there too
And there isn't much that we can do
But there is Acyclovir to help
And we'll want help
From Herpes hurting you

"Fools," say I "you must beware!"
Herpes simplex's everywhere
Symptomatic or in the ganglia
Caught in New York or in East Anglia
It will be latent
And reoccur when times are bad
And you'll be had
When Herpes comes for you.

First heard (by me) along with several others on NPR some months ago when Scott Simon interviewed Prof. Helen C. Davies. She wrote these (using tunes familiar to almost everyone) as mnemonic devices for her microbiology students. I e-mailed NPR and asked if there were any way I could get the words to her songs. NPR forwarded my e-mail to Prof. Davies, and about a month ago, she graciously e-mailed me with the words, thanking my for my interest and apologizing for being so long in sending them to me, but that she had been swamped with similar requests. She may have copyrighted them, but of that, I'm not sure.
