Public Health Warning

So. Grab your SARS masks and have your immunisations ready: I'm a walking communicable disease.

Whooping Cough is on the warpath.

I knew it wasn't bronchitis. The whole not-chesty-ness of it all was a bit of a giveaway. Not to mention I felt fine and non-feverish and nothing at all like I do when bronky. Not to mention the dreadful, terrifying, whooping gasping choking can't breathe need air thing after a bout of coughing.

Who knew immunisations wear off? I can expect a few more weeks of the cough, and a 'relapse' whenever I get a cold in the next 12 months. Joy.

But it's OK - I'm not contagious now. Photobucket
