Ah, not that I remember. There was an Aye-obsessed captain, a volatile mycologist, and a tap-dancing ballerina fairy princess veteranarian, but no hypochondria so to speak.
Was DH pulling our chain? Or is it a clue?

Hypochondria was mentioned in some early rumors surrounding TGG, but it doesn't actually show up in the book. There's no character who thinks they have mushroom poisoning--or any other disease--but doesn't.
Maybe Handler planned there to be hypochondria, but wrote it out. Or maybe someone misreported insider information.
Yay, 6000 posts.

I was thinking about that the other day I've come to the conclusion it was written out because it would have been too similar to Aunt Josephine. |

this may be stupid but what is hypochandria It's hypochOndria. Sorry if you already knew that... For those who don't it's when you think you are sick, but you really aren't. Or something like that...  |

Maybe the mention of hypochondria was do to the fact that Snicket originally thought of having nobody believe Sunny when she got poisened, and blew it off as hypochondria.

There's no character who thinks they have mushroom poisoning--or any other disease--but doesn't. Maybe Handler planned there to be hypochondria, but wrote it out. Or maybe someone misreported insider information. I concur with Tocuna. And the place which "hypochondria" came from was an original teaser letter a.k.a. back-cover-letter about TGG, which I think was on HarperCollins' website. |
