    Default When you work with a cold, do you take extra precautions?

    What I mean is, are there things you do to lessen the chances of giving it to people who dance you, or do you more or less not care?

    When I'm sick, it's a motivator for me to get more dances. Goal: infect as many customers as possible.

    ^^ Haha, I like the way you think.
    I just pop in a cough drop and do my normal thing. Custies do not want you hacking up a lung on their lap, thats all.

    no. i stay home because i'm not a bitch.

    every time i have been sick in the last 2 years, it was because some bitch was hacking up a lung in the dressing room while i was unlucky enough to be in her range. and it's always the girls who make great money and shouldn't even need to be there. they just want to be.

    stay the fuck home.

    I try to stay home unless I'm behind on my rent or electric. I don't care so much about getting customers (not regs) sick as I do the other girls. I would want them to stay home if they could afford it. However, most of them, again like an above post, are girls who make bank, but choose to come in anyway.

    If you have a fever or are vomiting, stay home!! Most of us don't have insurance, and giving another dancer something worse than a cold would not be cool.

    Just wash your hands, take meds and vitamin c, and if you have to cough or sneeze, cover it and wash your hands again. also, don't drink alcohol. It will just prolong your illness.

    Wow, so most of you don't care about infecting your custie. I've felt pretty angry when I've had to work sick so I can kind of understand, but I still try to be careful. Some of you wrote that you're actually motivated to work sick in order to get custies sick too. Why, and do you actually do things differently to try to pass your cold to them? It seems mean.

    I would work as long as I felt able, regardless of whether or not I'd pass it onto custies! If they're gonna be trying on the groping and getting too close, how tragic for them to catch the flu for their efforts

    I agree. That's definitely the best policy. I think we're in the minority though. Sorry for the late reply by the way. I haven't been by here in a bit.

    I wash my hands, use sanitizer, and drink hot toddies to keep coughing under control - if they get sick from me, then they are either terribly unlucky, or trying to be too intimate!

    I love that! LOL I wouldn't do it personally, but I think you have a great sense of humor.

    Agreed! Even for people who do have insurance, it's just not cool to come to the club and work unless you really need the money. Coming to work sick only helps to spread the germs and get more dancer sick.

    What really burns my buttons is customers who come in sick! I mean they know they have a cold and then they come in hacking up a lung all over our work space and try to make it impossible for us to leave the situation by crying about how they are lonely... take some friggin' cough syrup or something and get some sleep! They don't buy dances anyhow when they are like that... but they have no problem trying to waste our time.
    Don't you ever sleep?
    Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

    i unfortunately cant work. i have health issues and am VERY prone to severe secondary infections. i run very high fevers (last time it was 101) with a simple cold, so i have to be VERY careful when i'm sick. i usually stay in with blankets piled on me only going out to get groceries. hell, if a friend is sick and wants to hang out, we take a rain check so i dont get it. of course, my friends have seen how sick i get so they're cool and understand.

    i hate when girls and custies come in sick.

    When I had pneumonia recently, I waited til I had been on antibiotics for three days before going in. Then I wasn't going to pass anything on. I also brought my inhaler to work to quell the coughing, even if the steroids did make me shake like a leaf.

    I personally cannot STAND it when girls come to work sick. Yeah, it's all fun and fine and dandy to infect those grope-y custies ... but I'M sick right now, completely miserable and hacking out my lungs because of the girls that were doing exactly that (hacking out lungs and sneezing ALL OVER THE PLACE) in the DR at my club.

    It's freaking annoying as hell. You pack enough people into a small space like a DR, and no matter how careful you are - you're bound to get another girl you didn't MEAN to get sick, sick. PLEASE, if you're sick - just stay home until you're OVER it.

    I stay home. I learned my lesson earlier in my dancing career that working while sick (even if it's not contagious) will make recovery take longer.

    Yes I stay at home. The reason I work in a strip club is so if I get sick...I don't have to go to work.

    Unless it's a regular, the only precaution I take is to make sure I time my coughing with the music and a time in the conversation to laugh so custies don't know. I consider it their pervert punishment.

    I don't work if I am sick. I don't feel sexy thus don't make money. My time is better spent recovering at home. I've been sick since thursday which freaking sucks cause I've had to dip into my savings and the clubs here are rockin leading up to Christmas. I was planning on working every day in December up to the 20th to max earnings. Now it's looking like I'm gonna be off a whole week! grrrr!

    That's so fucked up in so many ways, to want to pass on your illness to others. Why protect only regulars? What if you're dancing for a great potential regular? You want to get him sick so he doesn't come back? You want to spread infectious disease into the community?

    People are becoming more and more prone to infections due to our overeliance on antibiotics. All you are doing is helping spread disease more so that it can mutate and come back to you. And bragging about it is even worse. People already think that strippers are disease spreading whores, you're just proving them right. If you must work, try to protect EVERYONE around you, including random custies and other dancers. But if its that bad, just take a day or two off, that's the whole point of being a stripper, flexibility in scheduling.

    Ugh, I'm ashamed of this thread.
