Look on my Posts, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away

The weirdest thing about Malaria was the overwhelming feeling of existential dread that set in before I had any physical symptoms.

This is a great thread! TIL about the thing I quoted above. You never know when information like that might be useful :science:

I did some googling and found https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4918116/

quote:

Many such patients were diagnosed with malaria only some time later at the onset of fever, or when their symptoms progressed to coma. These reports described a common prodrome of hallucinations, anxiety, crying, violence, agitation, and a dreamy and confusional state [13].
