Megadeth's Dave Mustaine Was A Parasite Magnet Singer had 51 parasites found in his body after tour

WASHINGTON (AP) - Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine never realized when he hit the road, how much of it he brought back with him.

Mustaine says he went to see a health practitioner who did an analysis of his body.

She told him he found 51 parasites in his body, many of which were varieties of worms.

He couldn't believe it.

He says he's sure he picked all that up staying in less-than-clean hotel rooms and other hazards of being on tour.

It doesn't stop him from freaking out that he's going to catch germs from fans.

Mustaine says he has fans cough into their hands and then shake his, or they give him hugs.

He says part of the hazard of his being so outgoing and affectionate is that he's sick a lot.

You should post all of the song United abominations.
It’s an indictment of the UN

And I’ve gotten in to the habit of washing my hands before AND after using public restrooms.

Thats is a slightly helpful, but in reality useless exercise.

Think about it. You go to a public restroom. To get in you grab the doorhandle. You then go do your business. Possibly touching another door depending on what you need to do in there. If you did go in there you have to touch the door again to get out. You then touch the faucet to turn on the water. You wash. You touch the faucet again to turn off. You then at a minimum touch the door exiting. Your hands have come into contact with two 'infected' or 'dirty' surfaces post washing hands.

What did washing accomplish?

Just use a liquid hand sanitizer after you exit.

Nobody is making fun of you.

Now sit down. Close your eyes. You will feel a slight prick, then it will all be better.

Didn’t Dave Mustaine become a “born-again Christian?” Those must’ve been some Christian groupies, eh?

Oh I think I’m going to throw up.

Is he for real (meaning nuts) or is this a pathetic attempt at humor????

[ClearCase_guy]

I've stated my theory in post #42.
Scythian responded in post #45 that he is quite sane.

You can make up your own mind.

[DeLaine]

I didn’t read all the posts, I got bored rather quickly with the discussion. Thanks for the info. I’ve made up my mind. LOL

No, I think the Morgellons were ones who could live above ground in "The Time Machine." The Eloy lived below ground and would occasionally eat a Morgellon.

Morlocks lived below ground. They looked kind of like an evil Michelin Tire Man. I'm not sure about the Elroys. On the second thought they didn't look anything like the Tire Man, but I was afraid of him as a little kid.

Come now. I don't do any of those things. never have. The only times I wash my hands is when they are dirty from having them inside the engine of a car or been shoveling cow manure all day.
...and thats only because I don't want crap all over my sandwich.

People are so sissyfied now days. I get a sniffling headcold once a year.

Is he for real (meaning nuts)

I have struggled for the longest time on how to spell the sound of someone moving their extended finger up and down across their lips making a gargling sound to indicate the presence of a looney whacko nut nearby.

Something like "ablahbablahbablahbablah"

LMAO!

Why were you scared of him? He's so cute! He looks like he's made of marshmallows.

I was making a joke about the Morgellons/Morlocks, which was dumber then I thought if I have to explain it. :-)

I don’t directly touch anything in a public restroom (well, except for the obvious thing). I grab a paper towel or napkin to open and close the door(s), turn the faucets on or off, etc. Also, whenever I have to push open a door to get in or out of a public place, I reach up to push the very top of the door where nobody else touches. I also use a debit card to purchase everything, including a cup of coffee, to avoid handling change.

[DeLaine]

laughing. I know JUST what you mean.

[DeLaine]

I don’t go that far, but I do use my elbow to push on bathroom doors.

And I try not to eat out of other people’s bowls of grits. Sometimes. LOL

No self respecting hippie would be caught in the same county as a Megadeth show. Unless Megadeth was performing at Bonnaroo.

Ratdog, Medesky Martin and Wood, Trey Anastasio, bluegrass shows, jambands, that’s where the hippies are.

if I may quote Ron White:

“You’re a real manly man, aren’t you.”

Notes to self:

1) If I’m going to stay at a Holiday Inn Express, a) take a can of Lysol and a box of Clorox bleach wipes and b) don’t believe that my stay has suddenly made me a foreign policy expert (even if I picked up any “foreign” bodies).

2) Don’t shake hands, hug, exchange fluids or otherwise come in close personal contact with any rock star, especially if the band’s name contains any combination of the words Mega and Death.

3) If I ignore my own advice in numbers 1 and 2 and roll around naked on the carpet in a Holiday Inn Express with a rock musician, shower immediately afterwards. Those carpet fibers can be killers!

[Huck]

Yes, that is weird.

lol. true. it was gift, but i do like the thing.
