Can you really get thrush from licking railings?

Dunno, but am I the only one who thinks "thrush" is the most incredibly sexy name ever for a disease?

― Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 09:22 (nineteen years ago)

it's no "scurvy"

Hmm. Are you sure you're not giving extra points for having a pirate say it?

― Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 09:35 (nineteen years ago)

so, who knows for sure?

I wouldn't go licking any railings in wintertime, if you value your tongue.

I always manage to escape the ravages Thrush - as it is apparently very prone to Deception.

thrush = Candida albicans = fungus. it's primarily a disease of the immunocompromised. i like your question!

― twoheadedboy, Tuesday, 3 January 2006 20:02 (nineteen years ago)

i'm itching to find out if this is true.

right now I have pink eye, which is similar to thrush ...in some ways. i have to put a hot compress on my eye.

also, i thought it was rare for adults to get thrush unless they are immuno-depressed. is your tongue all white and patchy ... ok further, Ricky do you think Geographic Tongue sounds like an exciting adventure? (also thx for mentioning me on the girl music critic thread). luv and brigette, Susan

[Sidesteps "geographic tongue" question.] You're welcome, Susan!

Mark, which Belle & Sebastian song is that line from? Is it Lazy Line Painter Jane? It's been a while since I listened to their early stuff.

― twoheadedboy, Tuesday, 3 January 2006 22:04 (nineteen years ago)

Yes.

― Cunga (Cunga), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 03:59 (nineteen years ago)

Hearing this line for the first time was the very moment that made me a fan.

― bendy (bendy), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 05:14 (nineteen years ago)

Oddly enough, I have a geographic tongue.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 05:21 (nineteen years ago)

Is "geographic tongue" another Meltzerian category (cf. aquatic unknown tongue)?
