For my anecdote, I got sick for the first time in years with a cold, right around the new year. This happened after we went out to eat at a restaurant in Portland. Our food was late, and someone came and told us that some kitchen workers had called in sick. We ended up waiting almost 2 hours for our food. After eating, my girlfriend and I felt sick within a day. It was fairly miserable and lasted about 10 days. Then a month later, after my roommate returned from a trip to Vancouver, BC, we both became ill. This time it lasted about a week. Next, about a month and a half later I was feeling unwell for weeks with very different symptoms. I went to urgent care. This turned out to be an episode of diabetic ketoacidosis, and I was diagnosed with adult onset type 1 diabetes.
