Munchkin Pathfinder-Ghoul Friday Paralysis

[Ed3]

The bad stuff for the Ghoul Friday is Paralysis till your next turn. Now, it says you cannot Receive or play cards till next turn. Here is the question: Does this mean that while you are unable to use cards to defend yourself other players are free to attack you with their cards (curses and such) and you just have to sit there and take it all? or does it mean that you are unable to play cards from your hand but can still use those on the table? or does the "can't receive cards" part prevent them from burying you under a mountain of curses? this card needs WAY more explanation. (because I just watched some players paralyze and kill another player with it. no, I won't say how you munchkins.)
So really, Major clarification on the paralysis and what it means.
Thank you very much.
