I've listed the dangers of cycling alone across Canada on earlier blogs: cougars, bears, rattlesnakes, fear of heights such as trestles and suspention bridges, but there are many others like an approaching forest or grass fire, falling, mechanical break-down in the middle of no-where, lightning, and sickness.
Only the sickness one, I guess, might give enough warning so that one could stay home that day. It would have to be pretty bad for a cyclist to decide to stay home, though, when she/he is on a cross-country road trip.
As far as sickness goes, my daughter put an earlier comment on the blog saying "I also heard that a glass of warm/hot water and 3-4 drops of tobasco sauce (or other hot sauce) gargled can be good for a cold. If it is hot enough to make you sweat, it can sweat some of the sickness out..."
I've already tried the tablespoonful of vinegar with water gargle remedy that Jo-Anne Murphy told me about, but my present cough is persistent, though not bad enough to be debilitating except at work where I have to answer phones all evening. Either of these remedies are helpful. So is an aspirin as it slows the need to cough.
Keep well, and keep active. May spring be knocking at your door.

Hey there! This post couldn't be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this write-up to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!
