Be Kind all, this had nothing to do with the conference, or their planners. This was due to the construction at the hotel that LGHS was NOT informed of... Please post this far and wide, as there are many who became ill after the conference, and they NEED to know this...
I did not become ill (hard to believe huh..) but many MANY did... Please make sure this warning gets to them all!!!
I will still be getting checked, JUST IN CASE.

I wanted to give you all a heads up........over thirty people that I know of came home from the convention very ill. I was one of them and am now on a major regimen of antibotics. Seems there is a bacteria that lays dormant in carpet and when pulled if anyone breathes the particulants it attaches to mucus and goes nuts breeding. I have contacted the hotel to give them a heads up and also plan on contacting the Public Health department in that area. If you came home sick from there please follow up with phone calls to both the hotel and the PHD. The phone number for the hotel is 502-367-2251 and ask to talk to the manager do not deal with the front desk people.
If you have not seen a doctor you might want to consider it, it attacks the respiratory system, the throat, the ears and nasal passages.
Also please drop me a line to let me know how you are doing, I know a couple of close friends are very sick with this.
