malarious.
So I thought I could go the whole semester without getting malaria, but of course, on the last week of my semester I gradually obtained a large headache, backache and fever. It was malaria.
Of course people like my mother freaked out, because malaria is seen as almost a death sentence from those westerners. But we made a connection between malaria and strep throat. Left untreated, it can be lethal, but it is very easy to treat (only 5 dollars!), and it goes away in a giffy. It especially was not too bad because I am on the anti-malarial pills, which are obviously not 100% effective.
So dont freak out anyone, I am fine, just a little malarious is all.
