Sick Again??!

I think I'm getting sick again. Not quite three weeks after getting sick from a trip to Austin I've got a cough again. This bout of sickness would seem to be from my trip to Las Vegas this week. My Vegas trip had a lot of the same risk factors— especially being in a room full of colleagues for a few days— with the added risk factor of cigarette smoke. OMG, the Bellagio was awful (by modern standards) for latent cigarette smoke. Every time I walked through the casino— and I had to walk through the casino to go literally anywhere to/from my room— I could feel the smoke irritating my throat. And that was just a few minutes of exposure. And that was even without tons of people actively smoking. There's just so much latent smoke there from apparently poor ventilation.
Even more frustratingly, this round of sickness is barely a week after I got over the previous round! I had chills Friday night and went to bed early. That's after the lingering cough from the last round only finally went away last Friday.
Well, maybe— maaaaybe— this cough is just a reaction to all the smoke and I'll clear from it quickly. OTOH this could be the start of another two weeks of struggling through various symptoms.
