You guys in the Pacific Northwest and your Viruses-of-Doom…
The one time I was in Seattle (for an interview), I came home with one of your nasty local flu viruses. I fell horribly, miserably ill. And it started hitting me during my cousin's wedding, which was a few days after I arrived home. My nose ran like a fire-hydrant, my sinuses were horribly inflamed and congested (and I can't take decongestants due to blood-pressure concerns), and my head felt like it was in a vice.
I always thought it was because we were the originating vector for the nasty pool of viri dumped into that bowl every year by our pacific rim communities and all of the international travel that encourages.

I was in bed for the next 2 weeks.
