Can a wastelander collect Brain Fungus in peace?!

Story time.

So there I was on a quest to collect 25 brain fungus for the weekly, so I go to the good ol' bog. Everything was quiet at first I was keeping my nose down at the river bank scouting for brain fungus until I trip a sleeping Scorchbeast... Ok don't panic its only one right?! but then another spawns. I bolted to those pink trees in the bog and found myself in a shootout between raiders and super mutants while scorchbeasts rained hell from above. Mind you I used to have a bow build but went back to my little Cryo Crusader since its my fave so I couldn't just one shot everything. I decided to book it and let them fight among themselves. Did it go well? Nope The scorchbeasts followed me and spawned quite a bit of scorched and of course I walk into another fissure and spawn another beast. Finally decided to just duke it out and began quick swapping between my cryo and pyro gun to get the element damage bonuses and debuffs. Took a while and I prevailed 😄 I continued on my quest to get the brain fungus and collected all 25. Ended up in front of a peaceful dam with beavers about.

The end.

It's been a while since I felt overrun by field mobs so despite it being a mundane weekly quest it was pretty fun. Good luck on your weekly quests everyone ❤️

Edit: Thanks for all the tips on future brain fungus locations didn't realize there was so many. I always tend to stick to same spots.

Hey yall I need some guidance to find out what's going on.

So about 15 days ago I developed a sore throat and noticed it was red originally thought it was a cold but behaved a diffrent. That night I had body aches and headache and pressure. This lasted for about 3 or 4 days. Then it went away but for a bit over a week I had mucus in my throat, sneezing and light cough, irritated throat. I felt fine tho otherwise and no fevers as of yet. But then the body aches returned and throat got scratchy again. I went to my doctor around 12 days after initial symptoms. She tells me I have post nasal drip and probably some virus or infection that's she's been seen it alot lately. Prescribed saline drop and told me to do certain things to drain the mucus.

Steam baths,Vicks, saline spray, teas etc. Which I have been doing. But it's just been rough. I've had body aches for days that come and go. Headaches and mucus in my throat that just won't stop also my throat is goes from pink to red back to pink etc. It's like a tug of war where I feel good and then crash. Good and crash. The body aches are mild at times but enough to make me fatigued. Idk what to do. I also have minor facial pain and throat lymph nodes are enlarged. Oh also had stomach aches the other day and some loose stools.

I looked online and said it might be sinusitis infection. Which makes sense with some of the posts I've seen on here.

Idk if I can handle this for longer especially some of yall have dealt with this for months. It's mostly the fatigue and body aches that bother me and I'm afraid of it getting worse.

I will be seeing my doctor again in the morning. Haven't been able to sleep because of the achiness and anxiety.

Perhaps I'll need antibiotics or ill ask for an ENT referral in case this doesn't go away on its own I'll have the referral ready. Any advice or does this sound like sinusitis?
