Peteritis
noun
A strangely persistent cold or flu that sweeps through a friend group shortly after spending time with someone named Peter. Symptoms include fatigue, sore throat, congestion, and a creeping suspicion that this all started when Peter “just had a little cough.” Often passed off as “not that bad” by Peter himself, Peteritis somehow manages to take out everyone else for days.
