your saying that as though he is actually a real person

The professional thing would be to go home. Hard to project an air of authority when you're scratching like mad. No wonder people keep wanting to duck out of your meetings.

Stay away from me.

Impetigo used to be called the "kissing disease" when I was a lad.

Common amongst rugby players hence its other moniker, scrumpox

Unlikely you've got that then as I can't see you being kissed

Nah, the "kissing disease" is Glandular Fever, Shirley?

WTF?

I think I've heard enough.

I have a "Twilight Zone" feeling.

When I read it the first time round, I thought he said his grandfather had rabies.

has the signs of impetigo.

If it is impetigo (clear weeping from sores) it is HIGHLY infectious.

Also, if they give you antibiotics for it, beat the tulip out of them. (I have a long and scary story about an entire community being infected for best part of a year because the local GP did not know how to treat it.)

Nurse Practitioner last night gave me the news - expaling my mad itching and feeling awful.

Did not state which infection, but has the signs of impetigo.

However, I saw my grandfather with Scabies around 2-3 weeks ago - apparantly it takes a couple of weeks for scabies to get really inflamed, so I am thinking I may have scabies.

Am in work today, but questioning if this is a wise decision!!

By the way, there was someone in the docs yesterday at reception with swine flu symptoms at the reception desk despite signs all over asking people with suspected swine flu not to enter!!

Of course its a good move. You can go round infecting everyone who dislikes you. Which is probably the entire office.
