Malaria, or not

Poor Jeremy has been feeling really crummy for days now. The results of his blood tests indicated, well, not malaria, but a mosquito-borne virus which is giving him temperature spikes, insomnia, huge headaches and, when he takes the pills to get rid of the headaches, asthma. There is nothing the medical establishment can do save prescribe painkillers.

Who would have thought that you needed the full spectrum of immunisations just to go to Kiev? We are going to remember his three-day trip there for the wrong reason. Well, the not-malaria as well as not even finding me an ashtray with 'A Present From Kiev Airport' painted on it.
