Well I had, three flus or maybe two flus and a nasty cold over a 4 month period back in '97. At that time I had very little contact with people outside of work and the only thing I could safely say about how I caught them was people would sneeze into their hands, touch product boxes soon afterwards, I would come along to rearrange things, then maybe touch my nose . . . <_<
The worst one had me sick for about a month. My head was so plugged up at one point, that the pressure change when merely driving over a bridge gave me a temporary deafness and lightheadedness as I made the decent down the bridge to the northern shore. I was driving along on the flat with a 'completely detached from reality' sensation for about minute afterwards. :blink:
My boss caught it just after me and I watched him in the shop one day just trying not to fall over as he stood in the middle of the floor. Our sense of balance was relying very heavily on visual reference at the time, because our inner ears just couldn't do the job. :blink:
