Fake blood isn't a problem, I can get that from a theatrical supplies shop, but I see what you mean about the syrup. Not sure what else there is I could use that would work ... maybe mix some brown food colouring into glue and let it set so it isn't sticky any more? That way it won't wipe off either.
Of course I'm still stuck explaining to family why I want to make a costume designed to look like the skin of a six-foot-tall three-armed fox that was sodomised to death by trees, but that's my problem.

to be honest the syrup is worrying me by

Any possibility of fake syrup instead? Otherwise I see plenty of comedy for your companions, but you yourself may object to being a) constantly sticky and b) chased around by demented wasps all day.

Or a sure-fire way to ease the symptoms at least.
Step one: the Hot Toddy. Get a mug, preferably not too big. Start with a triple whiskey. Throw in a teabag (normal black tea; none of this fancy herbal bollocks). Top up with boiling water, and add lemon juice and a big dollop of honey to taste. Stir well, and drink.
Step two (optional): a very large joint.
Step two works by making you so spaced out and sleepy you don't realise you're ill. Can be combined with a hot bath or snuggling under a duvet in front of a fire for optimum relaxing effect. Step one is similar, except it works by getting you drunk, and is not recommended in the bath. And if you don't want to get drunk, go with a single shot of whiskey, and it'll take the edge off the ache and soothe your throat.

Is it acceptable for one of my agents to be a Draconian? Draconians being from the Dragonlance cotinuum.

Get lots of sleep. That's very important. Also, blow your nose frequently, don't just snuffle it back. Sniffing it back makes phlegm in your lungs, and it makes you cough a lot. Don't get too cold, because even if being cold doesn't cause sickness, it lowers your immune system.
If you can get your hands on Cold-Eze lozenges, those are a huge help, and may cut the overall sickness short.

"Yeah. More sober'n that one, anyway," he said, nodding towards his partner. He bit his lip when he noticed her and Marcus fighting, but relaxed as soon as she left the room. Eying Cassie's face, he put a hand to her brow.
"Hey, are you okay? You're really hot. Have you been drinking too much?" he asked, sniffing her breath and peering into her eyes.
