Desert Hawk, Anthony is right. I've learned over the years that he is quite knowledgeable about things. I enjoyed your story of the waterpark and like you I would have been concerned a little bit. But I wouldn't have lost sleep over it or anything.Hopefully your days at the waterpark will continue for years to come and you won't be "pissed off".ha ha. Now you don't have to worry about the HIV thing either. So have a BLAST! Anthony forgive us if we are not all "Rocket Scientists". MG

HIV? From a little chlorinated water splashed from someone's hair into the mouth? I'd like to see an explanation of how that can happen.

If you're that worried about picking up HIV from water splashed around at a water park, you don't want to be there in the first place, and you might even be inclined to avoid all contact with other human beings.

o If they were infected AND

o If it was their blood, not water being splashed on you AND

o If you had an open sore in your mouth

then you could be at some risk.

Sure, there are other diseases which could be transmitted, but that's what chlorination is for. And you'd want to stay away from the park altogether if you were worried about any of the diseases which have some possibility of transmission before the chlorine, atmospheric oxygen and ambient UV kills them.

If it was that likely to pick up an infection at a water park (HIV or anything else), we'd all be dropping like flies.

People do not shed HIV from unbroken skin. Through fluids from certain bodily orifices, yes. From saliva, ummm I believe that's a possible but unlikely in the extreme. From wet hair???

trip report: Magic Mountain

I made another trip to Magic Mountain amusement park today. It was an excellent day for wetlook. 100 degrees fahrenheit makes lots of people want to get wet. Almost every variety was represented: teens to 50+, rail thin to whale huge, model pretty to ugly, shorts from Daisy Duke to Mormon-approved length (some shorts were technically swim trunks, but I do not disqualify it if the trunks were worn as regular clothes), capri pants, long pants, skirts from micro to Amish-approved length, denim, polyester, khaki, plain cotton, completely drenched to minor splattering, a little of almost everything. About the only things not represented were pantyhose, overalls, long one-peice dresses, and courduroy. There were even women on the Tidal Wave bridge who took off their shoes and stood there in their stocking feet (Barry, you would have loved it). Probably the best sighting was a black woman in a short halter one-piece dress, checkerboard design with burgundy color (I love burgundy because it reminds me of the 500 euro note, ahh here I go with my numismatic stuff again!). She was beautiful, even though she was somewhat fat. She stood on the Tidal Wave bridge and got her front side soaked first, then turned around and the next boat soaked her back side. Her dress looked great dripping wet, and the water looked great running down her beautiful legs. There were 3 other very memorable incidents. 2 seperate young women, one in jeans and T one in jean shorts and T, both with long hair, flipped back their drenched long hair and water flew off their hair and hit me in the face. Most prople would have been pissed off by this, but I enjoyed it very much. I am glad that my mouth was not open, as I do not want to take any chance with HIV. In another incident, I was getting off of Psyclone (a rollercoaster). I was standing with my arms at my sides when a woman in jeans and a nice blouse who was soaked (probably by Roaring Rapids, which is near Psyclone) bumped into me and I felt her wet blouse against the whole length of my arm. It was a great day at the park, like so many others over the years. If they really do close the park and take this away from me, I am going to be extremely pissed off!
