But I know trains make me ill.

I was ill after coming back from Paris last July on the Eurostar.

This latest bug I caught after using the train to get to a training course in London on 15th December, I was ill from the 16th.

Pretty much any public transport (and coaches and airliners) will make you ill, fuggy, humid spaces where the same air is pumped around ad infinitum through dirty airconditioning filters with very little fresh air involved - its a made in heaven playground for germs, hell for people.

Wash your hands with soap and hot water when you get to your destination and before lunch and when you get home. So many people don't then wonder why they get ill.

I'm wearing a hazmat suit the next time i catch the train.

once you have suffered arsenic poisoning then all other bugs are a mere inconvenience in relation. its like the flu symptoms on steroids.

the flu is very rare to catch and usually puts people in hospital, its not so much the flu per say its more the other bugs that you catch at the same time as your immune system is down trying to fight the ferocious flu virus. this is why most people that contract the flu usually end up with such things as pleurisy and other nasty chest infections. people suffering from the flu dont walk about in public. the flu KILLS.

What does that score on Top Trump illness card

Measles nearly got my number when i was a kid, which wasnt nice. Pre immunisation days

Turned out to be a nasty virus but I had suspect meningitis as a kid and I can still vaguely remember the delerium it caused. Not suggesting this turns into a competition or anything but I do know a bit about what you went through.

I had meningitis as a child and also pneumonia a few years ago. Never slept so much in my life!

Yes, let's stop the illness comp, before we get sick of writing about it.

Meningitis is the top trump in this

Had chicken pox as a child. Don't remember having it but I must have because, 5 years ago, I came down with shingles. Completely knocked me down and drained all the energy out of me. I had to have 2 weeks off work with it.
