Why Conjouritis, Why??
TaygetaTauri:
I had a COMPLETELY Different take on The Conjouritis. I thought it might relate to Maggie and HER powers. NOT Fun Fact: childhood diseases are sometimes worse in adults (chickenpox is), Maggie could have a less noticeable form of the same disease, Harry is bigger and stronger with more magic, so it's more disruptive. Here's the thing about children, the spread germs VERY efficiently, they bring cold from school and EVERYONE gets sick! Being a parent often means being sick because your kid gave you a cold, sometimes your cold is worse than theirs. If you missed a childhood disease in your own childhood, your own child could bring it home from school or from friends. Maggie goes to school and had been shown interacting with children in the magical community (the Svartalves in this novel) so she could have brought something home from any of the places she goes and the kids she plays with. Dresden has become a full time parent, sometimes it's gross, and sometimes it makes you sick. However I do concede that my mind might be on children spread things in school and bringing them home only because of the "Summer of COVID."

That has been my view all along, and the obvious answer. Poor Harry has no wizard parents to relate this to. Eb could have elaborated more than he did about it, but he didn't.

Conjuritis is just foreshadowing the next way jim tortures harry. Its a disease wizard kids often get. Harrys to old to normally get it, which is why it's funny. But the disease isn't to torture Harry its the implications.
Wizard kids get it, and harry never built up an immunity.
*Wizard* kids. Maggie. She's got power. This foreshadows it. And kids are petri dishes. He got it from her because he was never exposed as a kid.
Jim likes to torture Harrys body but it gets old if you dont hit him in the brain, heart, and soul too.

Only if you have never been a parent and caught one your kid's so called "childhood diseases." Normally the symptoms are ten times worse to even serious in an adult.. So no laughing matter.
