and then I got sick

It was our own fault. There were coffee and tea making facilities in the room and we stupidly (what were we thinking?!) used tap water to make the tea. Just one mouthful in and I knew it was a bad idea. It tasted awful for one thing. And then later that night my body made its disapproval clear. Projectile ejection of said bacteria from both ends. I was in bed for almost two days, sweating and chundering.
