Why Conjouritis, Why??
The_Sibelis:
I figure it was the clue for what he does later with Molly's illusion. It's basically the same thing with extra steps...
pcpoet:
I think the Conjouritis is a set up for mirror mirror....harry sneezes and he somens a duplicate of himself from a mirror universe.
Conspiracy Theorist:
I don’t Think so, what we know of Mirror Mirror it is Harry who is pulled into a parallel world,
As regards Grifter, that would be absolutely horrible for Harry, so yes, that is probably what Jim would go with

I also can see Maggie as the vector for this infection, but I wonder if the illness represents something more serious. Perhaps it's the first sign that carrying the Winter Knight's mantel is taking a toll on Harry, in this case by weakening his immune system. Remember, the first time it occurred Harry felt a deep ache in his limbs that didn't fade for several seconds. The mantle should have kept Harry from feeling any pain, even a dull achy one. It's a sign that Harry is starting to run up against his limits.

Possible, but as a parent, and now a grand parent discovering "the daycare plague" when I visit after not being around young children for any amount of time, I am not overly concerned that Harry is experiencing some immune response breakdown. Aside from limited exposure to the Carpenter kids, and then the contact wasn't the hugging etc that goes along with having kids, Harry just
hasn't been around young kids very much. They are walking petri dishes, and as parents we are
fated to catch whatever, I think that is what is going on, I hope that is what's going on.

Yeah, I'm of the opinion that the conjuritis is Jim showing Harry growing into his role as a parent, with the bumps along the way. That kind of theme was strong in this book. It's too silly a premise to be a major cluebat.
