Haha, you and me both. I even had to go pick up an inhaler, as it set off my asthma. And got it too and it's spread to his ear, which sucks.

Lies! You simply did not drink ENOUGH coke!

Or eat some curry. I seriously think that plate of Curry Chicken I had thursday night at the con kept me from getting sick :P

yeah this year seems bad for that. Nearly everyone i know that went got sick as all hell, myself included

I always get a churchill cigar when I get sick, not because it makes me any better, but it does make me feel at least a little manly between sneezes and whines.

Vitamin C, and Tylenol *throws fistfuls of pills*

Ack, Sorry to hear dood. It has been awhile since AC tho, are you sure it's from the con?

I've never gotten sick at a con, but I did get sick BEFORE a con once... XP

Oh yes, the Con Crud is real. I've managed to avoid it thus far.

I had it too. Runny nose, sore throat, high fever. For three, almost four days. It sucked. But it does get better! Good luck!

Wondered where you'd been o_O I got off scot-free as well!

Yeah, it is no myth! But a horrible truth! My mate and I were well prepared! We brought some immune boosting supplements and all kinds of daily vitamins with us. I got the con crud once and I wanted to make sure I never get it again!

somehow I've avoided it usually. Will see how this year goes for Rainfurrest

I do the whole multivitamins thing, but I'd forgotten to take mine with me. Thankfully, I caught enough rest (Haha, yeah right) or food (Likely, considering the amount spent) as well as physical activity to keep myself healthy, I guess.

Could be worse, you could have Con Funk and Post-Con Depression (PCD)...

I escaped the Con Crud, the Kuwaiti Crud is more sinister anyway. Dont go there like I had to :(

I got it at AC last year and FC this year, but since then I've gone two cons with no crud. Thank goodness. 83

Zinc. Go get a bottle of zinc.

Take plenty of Zinc and vitamin C for 4 or 5 days before the con and all during, and a few days after... usually keeps the con crud away!

Yeah, same here. It took the better part of a week to kick in. OJ and drugs, all good things!

Next time, and this goes to everyone! Drink 8oz of OJ in the morning, multivitamin in the morning with a tablet of ZINC. That helps A LOT trust me!! My boys and I did that last year for FC and TOTALLY worked. No sickies :D

Feel better, hon!

I drank alcohol almost the whole time I was there. Guess I was lucky. Though... I got the depressiony thing so... its about the same. :-P

Damn, I must have gotten off easy. I was ill at the tail end of the con, but it didn't last 48 hours after it really kicked in. Here's for a swift recovery from that blasted con crud for you.

Prevention is the key. Basically you need to eat well, stay hydrated. Taking some multivitimens can't hurt. But the big thing.

is.... (wait for it. )


Wash you hands. Several times a day. Basically, whenever you think of it.
Especially wash your hands before you rub your eyes or eat anything.

Huh. I survived AC and FF in '07 unscathed.. and I was cuddling lots. :O

I blame the hyenas. Wait...

Told you, don't touch furries. Just kidding, take good care of yourself, come back good.

Strange. I never caught anything and I was with you when you left!
Get better soon!

My alergies are acting upa bt but that is it. Get well soon

Alcohol is a good plan. *Nods* Drink enough to poison yourself and you'll surely have drunk enough to kill off the germs!

For once, I didn't get con crud. Though I partied every night with booze. XD

Caught it myself. Sore throat, achey, but up and good now. you must have gotten another strain

Always remember the 6-2-1 rule. For every 24 hours you spend at any large gathering of people such as a convention, you need:

6 hours of sleep,
2 meals, and
1 shower.

It won't prevent con crud entirely, but it will certainly help combat it.

bwahaha, the post con sickness strikes!

*wraps you up in seran wrap and forces you to breathe through a heppa filter... just for a precaution. >_>

Its been proven true: Furry is contagious.
