Miller was back in the lineup for a night game versus Ontario.

B.C.'s Sasha Carter, who throws third stones for Kelly Scott, didn't play two games Monday because she was sick. Carter is also four months in her pregnancy. She was back on the ice Tuesday but said she felt weak.

"I am maybe 50 per cent," Carter said. "We do have a four-game stretch right now. It will be hard for me to do all four."

The curlers say this strain of the bug is short in duration, but violent in nature. Most teams don't shake hands pre- or post-game, or opt for fist bumps instead.

Michelle Englot's Saskatchewan team headed straight for the hand sanitizer the moment they stepped off the ice following a win over New Brunswick on Tuesday.

"People get a little paranoid when there's a few other curlers who are sick," Englot said. "Last night, we didn't even shake hands with the other team because their lead wasn't feeling well all day."

The Jennifer Jones team from Manitoba did shake hands with Nova Scotia after their game Tuesday morning.

"It feels wrong not to shake hands," Jones said. "We lived on the edge and shook hands today."
