17 year old Blake Flovin wrestled in a tournament back on February 19th in San Jose, California. According to Fox2, he came in contact with five other wrestlers at the tournament and later started to experience itching and a rash.

Multiple doctors determined that this poor kid had herpes gladiatorum known as mat herpes, and apparently this is pretty common with athletes.

Before Flovin was diagnosed he had wrestled in another tournament where he came into contact with other wrestlers who will be competing in an upcoming tournament this weekend. For obvious health reasons, he and his family are trying to get the event postponed so other students don't end up in the same situation.
