That's just nasty. Folks should bathe and they should clean the mats.
When I started at a new gym up in Athens, I got staph. Never got any kind of infection at my old place, but within a month of training at this new place, I was sprouting tumors under my arms.
Seriously, hygiene is NOT optional.
I hope it clears up soon and that you can train again. I'm in a similar boat, but next week (considering that I'll have some days off from school for Thanksgiving) should be better. I just hate going back after a long hiatus; those first couple of days always suck.
trained today. yup, we had Buddy Inspections. i haven't been there in 3 weeks, but the one dude was HELL BENT on inspecting me. whatever. tool.
awesome training, considering how long i'd been out, and that i'm just getting over an insane cold. i rolled with another guy for 30 minutes straight, and it was just such a good flow, we didn't even realize how long we'd been rolling. don't you love that?
then there's other guys who just try to smash me around, to prove how tough they are, and i can't wait for that 6-minute buzzer to ring. i avoid those guys at all costs.
i'm going to have to suck it up and brave the shower there, which i've only used a few times. i usually just hop on the subway home, and use antibacterial bodywash immediately. i may just have to bring the bodywash there, and wear some damn flipflops in the shower, like i'm back in college.
