MSNBC: Coach reprimanded for licking players’ cuts

AN American high school football coach has been reprimanded for licking the bleeding wounds of student athletes.
The Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission placed Scott Reed, 34, on two years probation and ordered the coach, who is also a science teacher, to attend a class on the risks of blood-borne pathogens.
Last year, Reed gave students at Central Linn High School near Eugene, Oregon, a pep talk about a coach who had licked and healed players' wounds so that they could rejoin the game. After the talk, he bent down and licked a cut on a track athlete's knee, the commission said.
The head of the commission, Vickie Chamberlain, said the board felt a public reprimand was necessary "because we were very concerned about his behaviour".
Complaints filed against Reed also cited other risky behaviour, such as licking blood from wounds on a football player's arm and a high school student's hand.
Parents said if Reed had had an open wound in his mouth, the licking could have spread an infection such as HIV or Hepatitis B and C.

Maybe they meant Scientology...
While it might have been stupid, since he could have caught something from the kid, it's not all that unusual as far as human behavior. We lick our OWN wounds when cut. Why do you suppose we do that?
I'm still trying to figure out why a science teacher seems unaware of the risk of hepatitis, let alone aids
"While it might have been stupid, since he could have caught something from the kid, it's not all that unusual as far as human behavior. We lick our OWN wounds when cut. Why do you suppose we do that?"
HUH?
Maybe you eat blood through licking wounds but I don't!
YUCK!!!!
Totally disgusting ... barfffffffffff .....
"We"? I use hydrogen peroxide on my cuts.
All he needs to do to beat this is announce: "I'm a Native American and these are the ways of my people."
Speak for yourself. I knew from an early age that there was a lot of bacteria in my mouth that could wreak havoc if it got in my bloodstream. As such, when I first heard that expression I thought it was rather weird.
(BTW, to the original poster, the picture of Dracula was a nice touch.)
how?
The players had better exercise extreme care with this coach. He may want to lick them in unappropriate places.
I use peroxyde on my cuts, too. Only made a general statement on widespread human behavior. Get over it.
Then he'd get off with some group therapy, a book deal and all the talk show invites he cared to answer...
This coach is either felony stupid, demented or simply perverse and should be tested for all manner of communicable diseases and fired.
Sorry, I have a sneaking suspicion that this coach/science teacher has a bigger problem than wound licking and would pull my son off any team this guy was coaching in a heartbeat........Furthermore, I would demand a full investigation into his background to find out what other kinds of weird stuff he may have been accused of doing with young males........
Not terribly bright, are you?
Perhaps it was merely his twisted way of commemorating a tragic event in American History. ;)
LOL. If only that we're so close to the truth!
ping
This state has a bunch of sickos
When you cut yoursself while outside or whatever and the sucker is bleeding and stings like heck, it just sometimes happens. Sorry to mention it, when this was obviously meant to be a thread on vampirism.
