I know it's seems to be over now, but you might want to make a visit to the doctor anyway. My folks took a riverboat cruise a month or so ago and an intestinal virus was running rampant onboard. The gruesome symptoms only lasted a few days, but when my dad went for a checkup a few weeks later, they found out he had a low platelet count, which they attributed to the virus.
