I woke up feeling really weird today. I felt a little chilled. The other workers told me to keep my eyes on myself for a few days, there's a small chance I could be contaminated. I don't know about that, though. I told them not to waste money on a diagnosis. I should be fine if it turns out I did catch malaria. But if I did have a diagnosis, it would have consisted of a test for anemia, which is a disease caused by a lack of red blood cells, which would probably come if I got a severe case of malaria. I would also be tested for exhaustion and an enlarged spleen. The good news is, the deadly kind, malara falciparum, doesn't come around in Brazil much. It mostly pops up in Africa. I should be OK.
