I got yet another call from the Health Department this morning. One of the workers got infected, in fact, with malaria falciparum, the most severe form of malaria. It can cause brain damage and internal bleeding. He isn't going to make it. I volunteered to come in and replace him. I got on a plane to Brazil this morning and arrived only a few hours ago. There was a man there, and he asked me to tell him if I think I've got any symptoms of malaria. Fever, chills, shaking, sweating, fatigue. Got it.
