I had strep bad enough once in HS to cough up a chunk of my soft palate. It was interesting seeing that red chunk of flesh go down the sink. I hit nearly 105F during that one as well. I was definitely hallucinating some, but that I recall, mostly manifesting in strange half-awake dreams.
I got real bad chicken pox when I was in 1st grade. I recall having to sleep on the couch for 2 weeks.
