The Pound 5 Virus (Sick People Thread)

[hungrybox]

Alright, let's get to the bottom of this.

Some **** went down at Pound 5, and some **** went up if you catch my drift.

I'm trying to find out what caused all of the stomach viruses.

Post your case, when you started feeling sick, where you ate, and all that, etc.

 

[Eggm]

I was sick the weekend before pound 5, however it wasn't a stomach virus, but luckily that raised my defenses so I didn't catch this one. However at pound 4 I caught a stomach virus.. it was horrible I should have made a thread like this. Good luck finding out i'm curious.

I definitely had a stomach virus the tuesday - thursday before pound. It's not some isolated incident. It has been going around a LOT in my area. PA/MD/DE. So since VA is fairly close, I imagine it isn't uncommon to catch it from someone there.

Tis the season...

Were you the plague-bearer?

 

[CT Chia]

I didn't get sick but I know a lot of friends that did

 

[Isatis]

I didn't get sick either.

 

[JTB]

I got sick just by watching the stream.

WHO DID IT.

 

[YOSHIDO]

I think it was the Mcdonald's. I felt like death after every mc double.

 

[Rubyiris]

food poisoning takes several days to settle in, so it's more than likely not the mcdonnalds.

you all may have had something prior to pound 5 and the mcdoubles just amplified that.

 

[Mr-R]

armada's YL is also sick

/ bad pun

 

[Isatis]

I think it was the Mcdonald's. I felt like death after every mc double.

I had McDonalds Saturday and Sunday. Nothing to report.

People keep telling me it was the Chipotle though.

 

[CT Chia]

I had chipotle and mcDs
no sick here

 

[AXE 09]

I had chipotle and mcDs
no sick here

This is exactly what I had, and I didn't get sick.

Some people were blaming it on the Mcdonalds, but I don't think that's what caused it.

 

[D1]

I had Chipotle, McDs, and Chick-Filet or however you spell it.

I got hella sick while eating Buffalo Wild Wings too

 

[Divinokage]

Or maybe you take it for granted that tournaments like this decreases your defenses like crazy after almost no sleep and eating junk all 3 days lol. It usually takes me 1 week before I manage to regen from a tournament of a size like this. The adrenaline that is constantly pumping and stuff...

 

[CT Chia]

Completely agreed with Kage, I always just feel bleh after long weekend tourneys

Though I don't agree with him taking like a week to recharged. Kage is too much of a Warrior to ever feel down.

Lol I use too much power in tournaments.. my body definitely feels it but of course my spirit is still burning. =)

 

[unknown522]

I got sick (sore throat + headache + bad cough) Sunday morning, but I always get sick when sleeping on the floor (APEX/ROM3). It got worse because I only slept for 3 and a half hours out of 76 hours.

Still sick right now.

 

[booshk]

stomach flu is so easy to pass around it's ridiculous. it's also annoying **** in the world

literally >_>

 

[Stratford]

armada's TL is also sick

/ bad pun

His Toon Link?

 

[Mr-R]

His Toon Link?

Oh wow I've played way too much brawl >.>

 

[Life]

If it's any indicator, here in western PA it seems like almost everybody's gotten sick at least once, and this predates P5, soooooo it might just be the weather or something like that.

 

[NickRiddle]

I went to Pound 5, and all I got was 9th place...


And bronchitis. -.-

 

[AllyKnight]

i only ate from mcdonalds and i didnt get sick + drank rofl. WEAKZ

 

[TheTantalus]

I had mcnuggets on saturday.

I had mcnuggets sunday for lunch, chipotle sunday for dinner.

 

[rPSIvysaur]

If you guys are going to post where you ate, you should post what you ate.

I didn't get food poisoning (I did get a cold, but that's from Fyre).
I ate at Jimmy Johns and had a Club Lulu, Dunking Donuts and had a coffee and crescent breakfast sandwhich, and I went to Chik-Fil-A and had a standard sandwich.

 

[MattDotZeb]

I woke up on Sunday with a bit of a weird feeling in my throat.
I came with Flow and he started feeling that on Saturday.

Ate McDonalds and that Sandwich place down the street with the bomb family made rootbeer.
I don't think it was food poisoning.

Oh, and I had the most disgusting fast food I've ever had on the way down (PopEyes).
All I know is whatever this was it made me vomit on Monday and rendered me unable to play smash on that day =/

 

[TheDekuNut]

twelve monkeys

 

[ranmaru]

Didn't get sick. I got really sick after Rom3, so I guess we all get a turn.

 

[Pi]

i didn't get sick, i was already sick once this year

though i did feel like **** after eating an angus bacon & cheese burger sans onions
had the mudd butt & heartburn, but it passed

was a good reminder not to eat @ crappy mcdonalds

 

[j3ly]

The main differences between America and Europe:

America: fat, unhealthy
Europe: slim, fit

 

[KevinM]

Yeah because we all know there are no fat people in Europe, and we also don't want to bring up the fact that as of 2010 the obesity rate of Europe is only 5-6 percent (fluctuating of course because of the per capita of people that don't report) from the US.

If you're going to be an ignorant troll you should probably stop :D.

armada's TL is also sick

jay k

 

[Fly_Amanita]

I'd love to see Armada's Toon Link vs. HugS' Ganon. It'd be a sick battle.

 

[choknater]

i got mad sick at genesis and i blame my sickness johns for losing to kouryuu!



hope it doesnt happen at genesis 2

 

[Deleted member]

i had mcdonalds nugets/fries, chipotle (twice?), chick filet, that expensive subway place, pizza place

didn't get sick, so probably not those

although i drank too much on last night, got evicted from canadas room and badly hurt my toe

 

[JCaesar]

I basically only had McDonald's nuggets all weekend. I puked my guts out Monday morning.

Though I still want to blame my getting sick on my long-time controller breaking right before an important tourney match

 

[PGH Carroll]

i was sick the days leading up to pound. from fast food.. of course. (arbys...)
and all the Mc D's i ate did not help..

 

[UltimaScout]

I'd love to see Armada's Toon Link vs. HugS' Ganon. It'd be a sick battle.

Except Ganon is a terrible character... and Link beats him pretty convincingly

 

[Dark Hart]

I'm know Smith. from NC also got sick

 

[Isatis]

Yeah, I was talking to Smith a day or two after and he outright could not talk. He still hasn't been on the DR skype in awhile. Poor guy.
