It is certainly concerning to hear this was allowed to proceed. I would have tried to move, as proximity puts you at risk. In todays climate of heightened health concerns, AS should have tried to isolate non-rev to limit exposure to crew and passengers.
I have heard from several FA's that they frequently get "food poisoning" when they do an overnight layover. As a former health care professional , I would be concerned that this was possibly something more than food poisoning . Short of taking vitals at gate, not sure what AS can do , in this case. I would not be happy and would let AS Customer Care know for sure.
