I actually just got over the same exact thing, was going to come on here and post the same topic, but didn't have the strength to get out of bed.

I took a few hits off of my bowl, and all it did was make me feel worse....Though, I couldn't take ANYTHING in at that point, the smell was what did me in. You can try it, but if smells/tastes are making you sick, you might just want to avoid the miracle herb until you're well enough to enjoy it

If you do decide to smoke, I hope it helps. And either way, I hope you get well soon! The flu's a bitch.
