Anchors Jessica Garate and Brittany Bade from sister station KRQE in New Mexico even sent Vasos a message from set, apparently along with some "green chile stew."

According to Fox4, Vasos' email was sent to "nearly 200 TV stations" before the thread was eventually shut down by its parent company, Nexstar.

Before laying his sick head down to rest on Thursday night, Vasos sent out a tweet to his colleagues, warning them of the dangers of sending out a mass email. He also shared the email address to the entire internet, so maybe Vasos should just unplug for a few days.

Feel better, Nick.
