I don't think that's right. Bad food and a virus are things that the medical community seems to be able to tell apart. Besides doesn't bad food usually result in a bacterial issue rather than viral?

My mother always believed that there is no such thing as a cold. She insisted it was all allergies. She could never accept that I get the odd cold, but I have no allergies. I've been well tested for them. She on the other hand, was allergy central.
