Malaria...

So I can now say that I have officially had malaria twice in the last 6 months of living here in Uganda...

Last night (dec 12) I couldn't help but think that malaria has to be a terrible way to die...As I have been on treatment now for 24hours I am still feeling bad with fever, chills, body aches, headache, etc...

I can't imagine NOT taking the 3 day treatment that kill the pesky parasites that are attempting to take over your blood cells.

The sad thing is, there are many who die from malaria just because they can't afford the $3 treatment for it...

I wish I could do more to help!
