Bleah. Sick with nausea & chills. Hope i'm not contagious. Three blankets & a space heater are just enough to keep my teeth from chattering.

I'm so sorry to hear that. You haven't been in contact with anyone who was at WisCon, have you?

Hope you feel better soon!

Ditto and ditto and ditto!

Well, she was, but said person showed no signs of lingering affects during the visit. How likely is it to have come from there, given the lack of obvious signs? (not rhetorical, really wondering)

The general consensus is that the stomach nasty that circulated through WisCon is a norovirus. Fast onset, passes within 24 hours (usually), but may be communicable for up to 3 days after symptoms disappear. Also, the bug can live on objects for up to 12 days, according to one source. I left WisCon Monday morning, and woke up with digestive troubles about 19 hours later.

A Wiscon attendee was at my place on Thursday night, and I started feeling ill Saturday afternoon. I'm all but positive it was food poisoning, but who knows.
