I blame Ikea.
Sep 13th, 2007 by B.
I spent 2 miserable hours in Ikea last Saturday and yesterday morning I woke to a fever and near constant vomiting.
And I didn’t even eat the hot dogs…

Oh, no, not the dreaded Ikea bug
I hope you’re feeling better soon!
Oh crap! It couldn’t be scarlet fever again, could it? I’ve been feeling awful for the past week but I haven’t been to IKEA for ages. Hope you feel better soon!
I’ve had one at home for 2 days now…something is definitely in the “German Air”…I hope you feel better soon!!
maybe it was the meatballs
Sorry to hear that. I feel partly guilty, coming from Sweden, you know. But deep in our secret souls we all love IKEA, don’t we?
Hope you get better soon. I always feel bad after going to Ikea (normally its due to the ammount of money I’ve spent!). But I think its something to do with the chemicals in the air from all the packaging associated the furniture etc. Its the same with Obi & Practika. I’ve talked to other people who have had simular experiences. I guess some people are more sensitive than others.
