Mosquitoes, baat flies, and siekas …OH MY!

Today, we had a presentation from “doc” as we call him, the peace corps medical officer, about infectious diseases here presenting what we potentially will get and what we will inevitably get. Sigh… It was gross. If a creepy crawly burrows into me and peeps out its worm like head to get some air I might be lucky if I can finish throwing up before I faint. Ew. Malaria and Dengue are probably far more miserable, but far less scary at this point.

Wish me luck...

Good luck! I don't know if I would have been able to handle a talk about infectious diseases. My paranoia would definetly be much worse then it already is. :-)

Suze, think on the positive side: bugs that burrow into your skin will probably make all those stateside pests like bees & hornets look like kittens from now on!

You can handle it! You've been dealing with ND mosquitoes all of your life. God bless you and stay healthy.
