German Germs
Rubella anyone?
i googled it and this is what i got..
Rubella — commonly known as German measles or 3-day measles — is an infection that primarily affects the skin and lymph nodes.

Its weird when i informed my friend's that abdul has the "rubella".. their reactions were all "hey, isn't tht like a female disease?"
seriously?
ppl?
ok i was confused too..
i remember walking around in primary school without my shirt under my pinafore coz we all had to get jabs.
the vision which stuck in my head was tht of tiny little girls lining up in the nurse's room to get their jabs, and the mean ones were making up stories bout how the needle will break if you're too thin coz it'll poke your bones.. i was thin..very thin..i was a skeleton kid.. and i remember freaking out.
anyway
so yea, i remember lots of little girls fidgeting around for the stupid rubella jab..
but apparently..it is NOT a female disease..anyone can get it..
and especially if you made up some excuse to the doctor bout already getting the jab a week earlier..like abdul cleverly did.. Rubella would bite back on your 26 year-old ass
Most rubella infections today appear in young, non-immunized adults rather than children.
Abdul panicked when i initially told him it could be allergies to food.
he panicked
then started screaming
and freaked out
all because he didn't wanna have to give up his lifestyle of "hentam saje, asal boleh telan..boleh jalan"
he calmed down when the doc said it was rubella..
the rubella rash can look like many other viral rashes. It appears as either pink or light red spots, which may merge to form evenly colored patches. The rash can itch and lasts up to 3 days. As the rash clears, the affected skin occasionally sheds in very fine flakes.
i have to deal with him and his blotchy itchy skin for the week.
yeay me.
not.
i'll sneak in a snap..and post a pic of his horrible rash soon
