...like the plague
So, last Monday during 'Waste and Hygiene in American History' I was presenting on public health and discussing various plagues when I started to wonder if it was possible to psychosomatically give yourself some cool disease like, specifically, diphtheria.
The next day I woke up with a sore throat, and have only not been disgustingly sick for about 2 days. Unfortunately, I did not grow a false membrane over my throat that is typical of late stage diphtheria. However, I'm now taking suggestions for what out of fashion defunct disease I should try for next. I spent my feverish time playing THEY FIGHT CRIME! over and over because it amused me, and because I'm a loser. Also, the entire time I was sick, I had detailed fever dreams every night about sex. Starring everybody. And I do mean everybody. Yikes.
It's okay, though, my fish loves me.
