I agree with Losttime, I don't think we'll ever find out why. Just like why Libby was in Santa Rosa, we'll never know!

I guess I should I should have made it a little clearer I was not serious. My humor gets overlooked when not in person. My bad Wiley. I was just giving silly reasons why they were checking his blood type

I think its just to tease you at the end of the episode with Dave to make you think that the island was all in Hurleys head, but in later episode with Desmonds flash back I looks to me that she went nuts after her husbands death. Or at least that's what I think. When she speaks to Desmond in the coffee shop and they talk about doing it for love, she seems to drift off a moment and I felt that that was it about libby.

I agree. But does anyone know if the sickness is even real?

I honestly dont think there really was an actual sickness. I am thinking the Quarantine sign was to keep the recruits contained in the stations and prevent them from going out and exploring the Island and either encountering a Hostile or Smokey.

Especially in the Swan Station where pushing the button was key to the survival of the Island.

I could be wrong but I dont think the blood test done on them was nothing more than just mind games or if theywere checking for something it wasnt for a life threatening sickness.

I say this because the Losties were on the Island for some time prior to being tested so if they were infected with something it will have spread throughout the Island or anyone they came in contact with.

TPTB might have done this in case they wanted to add more to the storyline. It may also be something that they just figured wasnt going to be that important to the over all story and dropped it to focus on other things.

Just guesses. I would like to know though what was the purpose of the blood draws, if any
