Just what I needed today, another medical thing for me to obsess over.
The virus that causes cervical cancer, the subject of heated debate in Austin, also sharply increases the risk of throat cancer for both men and women engaging in oral sex, according to a new study.Great, I've got cancer.The study found that people who have had more than five oral-sex partners in their lifetime are 250 percent more likely to develop throat cancer than those who do not have oral sex. The cancer at one time was thought to be caused only by alcohol or tobacco.
Bless you, Pinkdome! If it hadn't been for this posting today, I wouldn't have read the Houston Chronicle article, where I wouldn't have been reminded of Gardasil, and I wouldn't have thought to look at when I'm supposed to get my last shot of said vaccine. THANKFULLY, I did, because my appointment to get the last shot happened to be today at 11:45am and I would have totally missed it, if not for you.
*sigh* I knew I read you guys for a reason.
Well, that and that the fact that Pinkdome and Bluebonnet are smokin' hot! ;)
good news is, you can start smoking again. never stopped drinking, of course. how else would you have caught that virus?
Guess there is something to be said for being a spitter instead of a swallower....hmmm?
Well, it doesn't suck itself, now does it?
