  • It's because Rym drinks evil poison and Scott doesn't. Score one for the no-evil-poison team!

    Rym's strengthening the gene pool while Scott still can't do a push up. Score one for the awesome team.

    No, he's strengthening the gene pool by making sure his diseased self does not reproduce.

  • why is Rym so illness-prone?
    I have a congenital defect such that two of my sinuses are extremely small. It makes me prone to sinus infections, which have plagued me for most of my life. The vast majority of health issues I have are related to this.
    Something like that happened to me with my tonsils. I would get sinus infections and bad sore throats all the time because I had really big tonsils. Since I had them removed about a year ago I haven't had and kind of sinus infection or the like.
  • Hey, I'm allergic to certain antibiotics too.
    I'm only allergic to poison ivy, nothing else.
    I have a slight seasonal allergies, which surprisingly haven't been triggered despite the multitude of flora in my area.

    Get well soon Rym!

    My dad had to take shots for that regularly when I was a kid. He reacted so badly to poison ivy he once had to wear gauze to keep himself from scratching. Hopefully, you aren't that allergic. If you are, how do you keep sane? My father would shout expletives to the tooth fairy.

    I just don't touch poison ivy.

    As a forester, I'm going to vouch for this strategy. We actually carry Technu with us in the woods just in case we do touch it...removing the oils before your immune system has a chance to react is better than any treatment.
  • I know a guy who's allergic to rubber, one little touch and he chokes within a couple of minutes.

    All rubber? There are many kinds of rubber. Rubber trees?
  • Rym I hope you get better :D
  • Pretty much all rubber, that includes: tires, condoms and most medical equipment.

    condoms are latex, not rubber. Lots of people are allergic to latex. Perhaps he only has a latex allergy, not a rubber allergy?
  • Actually...Wikipedia has some things to say about latex. "The word is also used to refer to natural latex rubber; particularly for non-vulcanized rubber. Such is the case in products like latex condoms and latex clothing."

    So I'd go with Yes, condoms are rubber.
  • No, latex is referred to as rubber but may or may not be (I haven't looked into it). People use the word "Albion" to refer to places within the British Isles but it doesn't mean the British Isles are Albion.

    Maybe not the best example there...

    Oh yes, I lol'd with my classmates in High School when we were told that difference between American English and British English. "Do you need a rubber dear chap?" We then abused it by passing on our erasers whenever someone asked for a rubber.
  • Don't ever try and pass for an English person Afa.

    Only mockingly. :p And I'm not that great in doing voices or accents, so I'm left with my supposedly hot voice that can pronounce r's like they are supposed to be pronounced.

    Did you even follow the handily placed link? You don't have to look into it...I did the looking for you. Read it. Then click the link for rubber and read that. "Natural rubber is an elastic hydrocarbon polymer that naturally occurs as a milky colloidal suspension, or latex, in the sap of some plants." From the articles I have found, the latex used in condoms is a specific kind of rubber. If you can offer me an instance of a latex condom that is NOT made of rubber, I will happily reverse my view. Until then, I'm afraid I'm going to go with the more credible source.
