No Worries, Everyone: The Wrestlers Do Not Have Herpes. Sorry For The False Alarm.

Yeah, see, now this is a tough spot: A California high school thought it had an outbreak of herpes on its hands. (And its lips ... and its ...) So they announced to everyone that herpes had attacked. Obviously, everyone looked at the wrestling team. And now it turns out there's no herpes at all.

Too little too late for the 'rasslers.

"We can't walk down the hallway without someone yelling 'herpes,' " said senior wrestler Zane Atkins. "Kids, teachers who usually shake our hand, they don't want anything to do with us." One wrestler said he was told by a physical education teacher to sit in the corner with his coat on.

You know, it's a really bad sign, we think, that your team is the first group everyone turns to when there's a herpes outbreak. This never happens with the chess team.
