        I think I'm immune to con crud after all the sci-fi/anime cons i've been going to

            Be careful there. Going to a lot of hacker, anime, and scifi cons will also make you immune to getting laid. Its a delicate balance.

                Remind me to send you a pass for Sakuracon 08 then.

                Anyway,
                Happy to report I didn't get anything from DefCon. Then again I use to work in a hospital lab where we get exposed to things you don't want to think about.

                Suggestion for Defcon XVI: Carry a small bottle of hand sanatizer and shower regularly.

                        I lost my voice and had a wicked cough which I assumed was from the chain smoking, but it's still lingering, so there may be a touch of crud mixed in. Jeremiah ended up with the flu, though, so I count myself lucky.

                            I lost my voice from all the yelling and smoke inhalation.. other than that just jet lag.

                                    I made through 2 consecutive cons and then it hit me. down two days, but finally feeling a bit better.

                                        Nothing wrong with me. Other than a cough that comes and goes, but then again since I came back from DefCon I have been doing finals and finishing up all my classes at the university, and only sleeping 4 hours a day.

                                        Vitamin pills and Vitamin C pills for the win.

                                            Apparently I caught the 'slow burn' version of the crud. Started wearing down the defenses two days ago. Hopefully I won't end up as bad as some of you, but at least some of the suggestions in channel were new to me so I'll have some counter-measures.

                                                I had a cold of some type. One of the locals told me that sometime right after a rain it stirs up sores and mold and lots of people get sick. If you remember the Wednesday just before Defcon it rained and was actually 75 degrees during the day. Took me about a week to kick it.

                                                    Got my ass totally kicked by the crud.

                                                    Got in the monday before con and had a bunch of drinks at ceasers. Felt rough the next day but I deserved that.

                                                    It was wierd because for the rest of the week, I was feeling a bit 'off'. I hardly drank anything at all during the weekend, but never felt quite right.

                                                    Sore throat started Sunday and kept getting worse. Went to NY for a while and my body had a disk crash I think.

                                                    It first moved into my lungs and a horrible earth moving cough, then it moved into my head and gave my such sinus pressure that I thought I may have burst something. Fever that peaked at 102 and a delerium that was not as fun as it should be. Changed my flights home by a week because there was no way I could fly or they would let me fly that way.

                                                    Gallons of snot, 6 boxes of tissues, immeasureable amounts of toilet paper.

                                                    Seemed to get better but then went downhill further and began coughing again to the point of vomiting and then got an eye infection that had both my eye's weeping and sealing shut.

                                                    Got a wonderful inside view of the US medical system through a visit to the emergency room. $500, a course of anti-biotics and a week of being bed ridden, I'm finally home and something resembling vertical.

                                                    There was another virus running around the family in NY and it's likely I would have died had I caught that too.

                                                    I'm probably out about $1500 from the adventure of the crud.

                                                    No offense, but next year, I'm not shaking hands with any of you, I think I'll do the Howie Mandel fist thing from now on.
