I got the cold on monday after berget. Now, after two weeks it's gone, no medication required. I did not stay home from work, cause all the symptoms i hade were a serious cough and a snorly nose.

i can confirm 2 people got it in NATO FOX-2. I was all f*cked up the day after the event and so was Frik (truck driver). Took some pills from our medic (real pills, no 2min healing :) ) and i was OK i guess.

I presume it was from driving with the trucks all the time, so next year i walk :D

I had a nasty cough for a week after that,..but nothing serious.

I did have some symptoms of beginning cold (e.g. sore throat etc) during the first night, but two anti-cold pills sorted that out for me. And I suspect that's not from the weather itself, but from driving 500km from Stockholm with open windows and air conditioner on (yes I am dumb and enjoy it :D)

No problems. I'll be back next year, but then I hope we can sleep in a colder tent with better air circulation than this years clammy experience.

And we still get paid when forced on sick-leave - so no complaints from me there either. What's more serious is that I'm still having a cough three weeks after Berget and I need my voice for functioning at work.
But heck, Berget was for me a good experience anyhow. It was worth it. :-)

I'll keep that in mind ;-)
