In Closing
... back in May and knowing the way my body reacted then, I was dreading what I knew the lab tech would inevitably tell me, malaria again, and worse this time. Despite not having a single mosquito bit on my body and taking my anti-malaria drugs, I had contracted this nasty disease once again. Thanks Africa.
On the positive side, in Africa there are no rules and anything goes. Even in my twisted, fever ridden state of mind, I was able to appreciate sitting in the lab ...
