Post After-Party sickness?

[gam3fr3ak1]

for any1 who was at the after party on saturday:
are you or anyone else on your team feeling sick? there is something going around on my team as was wondering if anybody else has caught anything. I am not saying there is anything wrong with the food that was there, i just want to try to rule it out as a possibility.

symptoms range anywhere from stuffy nose, to fever, diareah(sp) and vomiting/not being able to hold anything down

thanks

I ate a hotdog, burger and brownie all from the first line... I feel fine

I have been sick since Thursday, but I did eat at the party and it didn't make me feel any worse.

Same thing here. I have a headache now and stuffy nose...ugh.

The food was cheap and underwhelming but I didn't get sick from it. Just sick of it.

prolly just the lack of sleep and stress I was fine but I don't like hotdogs...so I didnt have the meat

If there was a food poisoning there,
My team and I are lucky that we didnt go there in first place.

Actually, that was from the drink containers which had ice and cans of pop/soda. That's why last year and this they had taps for pop/soda at the VA Science Museum.

They had coolers with soda in them again this year
But that's what spread it, but everyone thought it was food poisoning saturday morning when half of the regional was sick.

I ate all except for the salad, and I'm A-OK.

I hope you all feel better though.

I went through table #2, and I'm fine. I got a chance to talk to Woodie this morning (he was on our MARTA train), and he asked us if we had any complaints. We said we thought it was awesome, and that the fireworks ruled. The only addition would be another laser tag tent, as we waited a good portion of the party to get into that one game.

My wavy burger was great, and so were some of the 12 pies NERD's in action had through the night.. or.. so I am told.. since I didn't even get to enjoy any.

I think with a stressful weekend such as Nats with the high energy levels, and people coming from multiple places on the globe, then things are just gonna naturally happen this way.

Colds will be caught, allergies (like mine) which were previously dormant over the winter will start goin' crazy, and people will pass some stomach bugs around as well.

The only way to prevent this is to sterilize the entire city of Atlanta, and put a big bubble over yourself so you don't touch or breath in anything but the air you bring from wherever you come from..

But.. since we can't do that don't just jump to conclusions and say I'm sick cause of the wrap party food.

How much running around did you do this week as opposed to a normal one?
I'm guessing more.

How many times did you eat or rest and drink this week as opposed to a normal one?
I'm guessing a lot less.

How much sleep/rest did you get this week as opposed to a normal one?
I'm bettin' everything I own on not enough or less than a normal week.

Bottom line, it's not alway what you eat, but what you do and how your body reacts to it that is the factor of whether or not you got sick..

Don't be quick to say it's the food at a huge gathering, but look at how you reacted to everything in the big picture.

I'm sick right now (flu like symptoms) and have stayed home from school. I can tell you that I know exactly where it came from. Not sleeping enough, not eating right, getting stressed, and then being exposed to anything that might be going around schools all over the US, Canada, Brazil, Israel, and the UK. I have a feeling that it's just the effect of being in close quarters with a lot of people, many of whom were probably getting sick, and most of whom were not taking good care of themselves.

Ugh, now I've missed 4 days of school in a row and I still feel like crap, at least I got some sleep.
