Inducing Metal fumes fever may not be a good idea.
>The symptoms are nonspecific but are generally flu-like including fever, chills, nausea, headache, fatigue, muscle aches, joint pains, shortness of breath, chest pain, and cough. A sweet or metallic taste in the mouth may also be reported along with a dry or irritated throat which may lead to hoarseness. [6] Symptoms of a more severe metal toxicity may also include a burning sensation in the body, shock, no urine output, collapse, convulsions, shortness of breath, yellow eyes or yellow skin, rash, vomiting, watery or bloody diarrhea or low blood pressure, which require prompt medical attention.[7] Milder flu-like symptoms will normally disappear within 24 to 48 hours, and someone suffering from metal fume fever will usually feel well enough to return to work the next day, despite the fact that they may still be feeling a little bit under the weather. It often takes 4 days to fully recover.
It sounds like it may do the job too well. I personally wouldn't want to feel that shitty for four days just to get out of a family engagement.
Do you just need to sound convincingly sick over the phone, or will be be seeing family members in person?
I would suggest getting Bee Pollen at a health food store if you have any pollen allergies. I'm a little allergic to pollen and just a small spoonful of Bee Pollen had me stuffy, sneezing, and congested as if I had the worst cold ever. Passed in about two hours. Say you think you may have a flu, because person you know/work with had it when you saw them yesterday and now you do.
If it's not too rude of a question, why are you so desperate to not dine with your family?
