Burning in Back of Throat, Feel Sick

[piperbama29]

Not sure if I smoked too hot or what caused it but last night I began having a sore throat and I feel a bit sick. Like a cold or flu. Of course im not smoking today but I'm wondering what might have caused this?

A virus, likely.

 

[cosmicbobo]

Agreed. Happens often to me, nothing to do with baccy.

Sounds like strep throat.

You were probably abducted by aliens.

Hmmm, could be a cold or flu.... :mrgreen:

Some.(not me) will say it's smoking an estate pipe!

I have never contracted a condition, virus or disease from smoking estates. Of course, I always use a lot of medicinal alcohol to clean them up before lighting up. Now I am not saying it cannot happen, all I am saying it never happened to me ... and I raised some pretty beat up dead pipes.

A virus, likely.

I hope not. I searched for Norton, McAfee and AVG tobacco and came up with nothing.
