Herpes outbreak....
TMZ reports...


There was an unwanted guest running amok at Coachella this year ... herpes.

According to honchos at HerpAlert -- an online diagnosis and treatment website for the STD -- there's been a huge spike in folks looking to get treated for herpes in the communities surrounding the famous music festival.

HerpAlert's been in business for 2 years now, with doctors issuing prescriptions to pharmacies after people submit photos of their, umm ... situation, for medical pros to review. The turnaround time is blazing fast, it only takes about 2 hours.

We're told the site has seen a massive surge in folks seeking prescriptions for herpes since Day 1 at Coachella. A whopping 1,105 cases have been reported in Indio, Palm Desert and Coachella Valley -- and also L.A., Orange and San Diego counties where most of the concertgoers live.

HerpAlert tells us they typically handle 12 cases a day ... but during the first 2 days of Coachella, the site serviced almost 250 patients!!! The biggest previous spike was during Oscars weekend 2018, when they got a mere 60 cases a day.

Bottom line ... what happens in Coachella might stay with you. For life.

Man sti’s and std’s generally are pretty hard to catch we’re exposed to them every day already. But holy cow does that seem quite frightening. If you think about it everyday we all pickup at least 2 persons infected minimum. Supposedly 1 out of 4 Americans already has the herp...not including what other diseases the host may carry.

That's why I carry Lysol and spray/wipe my car at least once a day

Sanitizing your car is a huge slap in the face to anyone suffering from herpes in the past.

Nearly 50% if black women between 18 and 49 has herpes


Probably 99 % of Uber driver already have herpes

Yeah but which strain and where it lives makes a difference. From ulcered gonads to oral cold-sores to dormantly hiding away somewhere till u maybe come under too much stress, virus decides host is threatened and breaks out to try and transfer to a new host. F'ing or snogging anything with a pulse will get you the first 2 types any day of the week.

HSV-2 (genital herpes). Half of young black women and 1 in 4 us adults have genital herpes.

There are only 2 common types. The other HSV-1 is the cold sore type.

Herpes is insignificant and a non issue.

I slap people twice a day sometimes.

Most people that ride our cars are generally dry. But I presume that Coachella riders are sticky, full of sweat and bodily fluids so it's probably easier for the herp to get on and stay in the seat.

If any of you who worked Coachella have kids that ride your car, probably should sanitize twice, lol.

Was just listening to this on KROQ. they were talking about sendin in pics of the 'affected area' for a diagnosis to a site, and then send you back a script for treatment. meaning all those pics are somewhere :laugh:
Most likely sitting in an unprotected AWS (Amazon) bucket somewhere online. Someone will stumble across the unprotected info sooner or later.

I got a solution. Very easy.

Before heading back to LA....

Park somewhere with no trees. Close all the windows. Sit there for a few hours, ideally 12-4pm

Let the sun exterminate all the organisms in the car.
Toss in a can of Ozium. It's the only way to be sure that you've nuked the herp.

That shit will kill everything...
