However, on day 24-25 post-exposure (which I understand is too late to be ARS based on Dr Handsfield responses to multiple posts), I had a viral tonsillitis with fever (lasting for 4-5 days between 38c and 39c at its peak), sore throat and swollen lymph nodes in the neck (but
no related
rash except for the one on the groin and
scalp itch which had appeared way earlier). By the way, my son also had a tonsillitis that same week so I guess it was just a virus we exchanged.
