make sure you didn't pick anything up. that area is a hotbed for AIDS. you've just been in a risky situation for diseases so don't blow anyone off next time, but since you probably did go see a doctor.

no doubt
when i went to cambodia last year I came home with dengue fever (aka bonecrusher disease).
But I got bit there, and not in laos from what i remember. Plus I think the symptoms are developing too quickly to be malaria.
ANyways, thanks, if I dont feel better in a few days I'll hit up the doctor.

I don't actually think 2/4 is easier, and I don't see where the argument is even coming from but if someone can give any reasons as to why it might be then I'll be listening [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

the_main,

it's not as easy as that. my uncle had the same thing when he went to visit his family in africa. he came home and felt sick so he took aspirin. he had picked up malaria. if he had just went to the doctor as soon as he felt sick he would have been fine. instead his liver failed from the aspirin, he went into a coma, and died a few days ago.

just go see a doctor. you don't want to regret it later.
