Autumn Flu

I have a cousin, lets call her ve, she is a germaphobe of the highest order. She is always in a constant state of panic whenever strangers approach her or her kids and is convinced that everyone is going to get her sick. I dont remember a time when I have given her or her kids any pathogens, but I swear, without fail, EVERY SINGLE TIME I hang out with her I catch something. This last time she gave me the full works, sore throat, nausea, dizziness...I cant tell if its the flu or some rabid cold/flu hybrid, whatever it is, its enough to make me want to drop all my classes and hybernate for a year or so. must...get....well....
