Warning: icky content. In case you couldn't tell that from the subject line.

( Blugh. )

Incidentally, I count this as three cold bugs I've been hit with (or at least three separate instances of differing/worsening symptoms) in as many weeks. I swear to god I'm thisclose to locking myself in a clean-room with tissues and gallon-jugs of Purell until I'm 100% better.

Stupid desert-acclimated immune system.
