Should the mother who admits posting doctor's office licking video be behind bars?

Woman told her daughter to lick the tongue depressors in a doctor's office and then put it back in the jar with the other ones. She was arrested. The bond, incredibly, is only $2,500.

” Is this some type of new underground fad?”

We live in a culture desperate for personal fame. I can’t recall which character said it, but in Shakespeare’s play, the mother of one of Julius Caesar’s assassins tells her son, (approximately) “If you can not achieve fame on your own, you can achieve it by killing someone famous.” In our germophobic culture licking something someone else will put in their mouth is like playing Russian Roulette with someone who has no idea it’s happening. The idea is to achieve “fame” through going viral. (No pun on “viral.”)

Two can play this game. We need to find some things irresistible to the licking freeks and soak them is scotch bonnet juice.

What if she licks a tongue depressor of someone who’s immune system is compromised? Even a small bug could threaten their life.

I think she said “I hate Americans.” I guess we’d all be thinner if we just went to the store and licked things and put them back.

I had a sister-in-law that opened a package of Ding-Dongs and was eating one when she caught me eyeing the other one lustfully.

Realizing what was about to occur; she quickly grabbed it and licked all over the icing.

Grinning broadly while giving me the old, “Gotcha!” eyeball, plopped in back into the wrapper.

Deterred not a whit, I removed it and popped the whole thing into my mouth; smiling right back at her.

No; I didn’t die from cooties; but did nearly choke from laughing!

Volunteer your tongue to a tongue depressor that has been licked by someone waiting to see a doctor.

The risk should be really obvious and in no way is comparable to walking through a store.

You are joking right. I mean even your first sentence that you found the poll but no link to the story.

A simple internet search with this search terms pulls up 3+ pages of search results with the story.

“florida woman arrested tongue depressor”

Sorry, I don't understand your hysteria.

The post linked to a poll - there was no link to the story.

As to what disease the girl may or may not have had, obviously that was not reported in any of the news coverage, because no one on the thread mentioned it, including you.

Like I said before, there should be punishment, but the actual disease and the risk of contagion needs to be taken into account, too.

By the way, have you ever noticed that most doctors and nurses pick up and reach into the tongue depressor jar with ungloved hands?

If you don’t get it, I can’t help you. And your false assertion of hysteria is way over the top.

Tell you what, go get yourself a scoop of ice cream, ask a stranger to spit on it and then you declare not big deal and eat it.

Nutty.

She should be made to replace the tongue depressors, the whole batch of them... at retail $500 each.

I’ll stick with my original answer...

The risk is identical to kissing a young woman you do not know well.

...with poor dental hygiene, bleeding gums and HIV. You do that.

Did the news reports claim she had poor dental hygiene, bleeding gums, and HIV?

Guess I missed that.

No, I was talking about the girl you met at the bar and said you kissed, not the woman that had her kid lick everyone's tongue sticks.
