Worst thing you've caught on road/working

I'd like to see this turn into an STD thread.

 

pneumonia. was in the ICU at the hell hole of a hospital in Liberal Kansas for a week.

 

A bad attitude.

 

Went to Miami, rented a car to go to Key West. Put the roof down on the convertible, and didn't realize how red I was until the next day I was back in my truck and couldn't park! Sunburn so bad Swift laughed at me that day as I attempted to back her in wide open spot.

 

Food poisoning, 3 times. Lose 15lbs in a week the hellish way.

 

I've been pretty lucky, considering a lot of my dietary choices, however...
I once ran out of body wash and went in for a shower when I was still a little baby truck driver. I didn't think much about using the body wash dispenser in the shower that all the Pilots have...until the next day when I had a major skin reaction to the stupid crap. I itched everywhere, and the skin under my arms, groin, and between my toes blistered up and sloughed off. I drove holding my elbows out from my body for a week and a half. I was pretty sure I would have driven naked for the whole time if I could have gotten away with it.

 

Note to self: Bring my own soap!

Thanks for the story.

 

found out I had gallstones the hard way. woke up at 2am in ridiculous amounts of pain at the flying J in Temple, GA. Felt like I was having a #### heart attack. Once I realized that It was just chest/Stomach pain, I tried to deal with the pain and let it pass. 5 hours later I called an ambulance. I have since had my gallbladder removed

 

Buffets, man.
