    For me it was during the H1N1 outbreak around 2009, I was one of the folks who got it. Much of my memory is fuzzy from that time, but I learned after the fact I had a fever of around 104. They put me in an ice bath to cool me down, and then later I was in bed and definitely started hallucinating that my blanket was trying to strangle me but I was too weak to move it. Hospitals were pretty overrun if I remember right, so we just had to treat it at home. Scary stuff, but kinda funny imagining my blanket trying to kill me in retrospect.
