If you get Swifts, don't worry about it.

Sounds to me like the friend is generally correct. The only thing is that he doesn't know about swift springs so threw out a blanket statement to possibly save his friend some grief.
@cheshire: I don't see how he's retarded, perhaps people should inform your parents that you're a bigot and jump to conclusions about people from third party hearsay. His friend gave safe-than-sorry advice.
