For the past month, a worrisome number of students living in the hostel are down with dengue. A few were hospitalized. The most recent case was my fellow coursemate. I'm not sure about the seriousness of his case, but I don't think he's hospitalized... yet. Poor fella.
After the first case of dengue was reported (the poor guy was seriously ill because he didn't know it was dengue), the state government send people to spray the whole place. I guess the mosquitoes finally thought of a way to resist it. Maybe they've developed some sort of antibody for the poison that's suppose to kill them. Super mosquitoes.
I got bitten a couple of times yesterday when I went out for supper. I was out for 3 hours. The pesky bugs were feasting on my legs.
I'm worried now.
I'm afraid of doctors. I'm afraid of medicine. I'm afraid of the hospital.
If I can I'll move out now, for the moment at least. But I have no place to go.
Let's hope my friend Jin Shawn is right. He said my extreme abnormality will prevent me from getting dengue. Hey, I may not get dengue, but I may be sent to the nut house. How comforting.
