Sitting in your office counting notes by hand to pay the local monthly wages, you've brought one of those sponge pad things that bank tellers used to have to keep your fingertips moist, but in the heat it's dried out. So for the sake of expediency you dab your finger tip on your tongue.
Three days later you're in the local clinic (apparently a German trained doctor runs it), with a massively swollen tongue and throat. Herr Doktor prescribes Penicillin.
Two days after starting the course you're lying naked on your bed with a fan blowing directly onto you. Your skin is covered in hives and you're delirious. He's overdosed you, resulting in a lifelong allergy to Penicillin.
Ho Hum....... Luckily Amoxicillin works just as well. Turns out the Doctor did a correspondence course purchased in Germany but graduated in Nigeria.
