What do you call the sickness that everybody gets after a regional/champs?

If the term for people getting sick after going to PAX is PAX pox does that make the sickness that hits everybody after a major regional or champs FIRST flu?

Re: What do you call the sickness that everybody gets after a regional/champs?

I like FIRST Flu. Fits in with the PAX Pox naming convention.

Also, let me just say that Emergen-C has been good to me at both PAX South and Championships this year. I highly recommend it if you're traveling somewhere with a huge amount of people.

Roboflu is what I've heard used most frequently.

Re: What do you call the sickness that everybody gets after a regional/champs?

I am suffering from RoboFlu. What's the recommended treatment?

BTW, I am also suffering robot number symptom. Most 3 digit or 4 digit numbers I see trigger an automatic mental lookup of FRC teams. :-)

Re: What do you call the sickness that everybody gets after a regional/champs?

There's a difference between Robot Hangover, which is the natural exhaustion felt after competition, and Robot [Crud, plague, flu], which is germs related.
