Oh my God, that's insane. People are NOT supposed to be going out into public when they are sick like that! That whole experience sounds like an emet's worst nightmare!

Don't worry, I didn't fast! I was too hungry! My husband is doing much, much better - he did have strep throat, I took him to the doctor on Sunday morning and got some medication, and all is well...

Welcome to the site! That sucks that your coworker was sick and came to work anyway - don't avoid her like the plague(ha ha) but wash your hands well! Good luck!

I remember one time last summer, my husband hada bit too much sun at the beach and felt n*. He got me to pull into a gas station and then he went over by the dumpster in full view of me and tried to...

I think it was the garlic, I know a lot of people who are sensitive to garlic, myself included. I can't eat it at all, it makes me sick.

He's doing better now, he's eating again! His glands are swelling up and he said his throat really hurts, so I know it's not an sv. Thank God! He's going to the doctor tomorrow if he still feels like...

Hi! I can totally relate to you, right down to the frantic cleaning sessions! Welcome to the site, I hope you find that it really helps when you're panicked to have people to talk to that get it, I...

I forgot to mention to use Lysol to clean. It kills viruses if you leave it on the surface you're cleaning for 10 minutes before you wipe it off.

I never put my hands near my mouth unless I've washed them, I try to never eat out, I overcook meat, when I feel n* try to think about being hungry and meditate my way out of the danger zone, and...

I hope everyone in your house is fine and sv free!

So my husband came home from work yesterday with a very sore throat, fever and headache, earacheandmuscle aches.We figured that he had the flu, he bought some Neo Citran and Tylenol, you know, the...

I hadn't thought about MSG! Maybe that was it...I've had egg rolls before with no sickness, but the Mandarin might make theirs with different ingredients, I don't know.

No, it definitely wasn't gas. It was the wierdest thing, like my intestines were all cramping up all the way across my waist area. It would cramp up if I touched my stomach, moved, coughed, etc.I...

I like chicken, too, but I am terrified of cooking it! All I think of when I see a raw, bloody piece of chicken is how much salmonella is lurking there. I always overcook my meat on purpose just to...

I grill sick people for information, too. I immediately start counting how many days it's been since I've had contact with them, and how many days I have to get through v*-free before I'm in the...

Huh? There's raw eggs in egg nog?? Surely there must be some kind of safety measure in the factory for making it. They can't just sell you ready- to- drinkproducts that may make you sick, can they?...

Oh, I totally know what you're talking about. Especially when you know the person who's saying it ISN'T afraid of v*!

I went for my employee Christmas party yesterday at the Mandarin(in case any of you don't know, it'sa high-end chain of Chinese/Japanese food restaurants) I thought I'd play it safe by only having...

Yeah, Dramamine is wonderful, and it makes you very sleepy! I bought some once when I was in the States and the next two days were a blur. I was a kid when I last had strep throat, but I don't...

Well, as long as it had been in the fridge it's probably fine, yogourt lasts a while.

TPBM drinks a lot of coffee.

Well, I'm a girl and straight, so I don't really think of females that way, but as far as ancient arcade game characters go, she's cute!
