I'm in Tanzania by the way.
Well I didn't quite realise that Falciparum was the most dangerous. Maybe i'd read it and not realised. maybe I was treated quickly enough that my parasite count was low when I started treatment. I wonder at what point you lapse into coma, not that I wish to experiment or anything. Probably if you dont realise you have it, and leave it, discounting it as something else for a couple of weeks?
Anyway, the medicine they give you for treatment isnt pleasant, makes you feel kind of spaced out, dizzy, but, all things going well, I can return to work tomorrow. So glad I had the test quickly and was taking Malarone already.
Lets see what the next few weeks brings. Wonder if I can go for the record number of Malaria infections in one tour?
212man, just out of interest, how long do you reckon you may have had it before being tested/started treatment?
