You didn't pay attention. I had the exact same symptoms as the woman and her children described. Also, I've only had one vaccine when I was 5 and then never again since I had a horrible reaction and became very ill. Prior to my neighbor getting sick I have been regularly drinking about 4 liters of tonic water a week. Also, I am outdoors regularly, am active and eat healthy foods.
What's interesting is that her boyfriend refused to drink quinine laced tonic water and had to spend two weeks in the hospital while everyone else got well in about two days.
It's not even the flu since I've had that and ended up very sick for about a week with another week to recover.
Oh quinine water. Ok. My apologies.
It's called tonic water and can be purchased in two liter bottles. The two liter bottle contains the equivalent of one dose of quinine. Obviously even if you drink two liters in one day it's a low dose but I figure if you drink two bottles in two days it's a mild dose.
Obviously that wouldn't be effective against malaria but it seems to work for a mild cold or what ever it was the swabs passed on to those tested.
My neighbor commented that she was suspicious that EVERYONE in the office but two guys got sick AFTER having their noses swabbed for the test. Her comment: "I'm so pissed" .
My grandfather used it for his Parkinson disease. It's possible your neighbor was onto something.
