I caught something at the tail end of a Hawai'i vacation in July/August. Don't know for sure that it was spamthrax, but I think it's pretty likely. I'm generally the guy that never gets sick, or only gets a light version of something that has everyone else in bed for a week. But this was the sickest I've ever been in my life. Even a month later I still had trouble riding to work without taking a break halfway there.
I suppose I could always blame it on suddenly going two weeks without significant exercise...
