Health Volunteer?


The problem with reading a book titled Communicable Diseases as a hobby is that you recognize that the initial symptoms for a lot of common but possibly deadly diseases are the same. They are as follows:

Fever
Headache
Diarrhea
Vomiting

Here are some of the wonderful diseases that you could possibly endure if you have a combination of any of these completely arbitrary symptoms.

Malaria:  Get under your bed nets kiddos.
Plague: Alive and well in here Africa
Yellow Fever: 7 days is the magic number try and stay alive for at least a week.  
Cholera: Cholera beds. It’s a thing, look it up. 
Relapsing Fever: Wash your clothes, wash your clothes, and wash your clothes. 
Giardia: Burps so bad you will ask yourself, “When did I eat Sulfur?”
Amoebias: Just kill yourself. It will be easier.
Typhoid Fever: Thanks Mary. 
Food Poisoning: Keep a bucket next to the toilet.
Polio: The option of getting vaccinated is a first world problem.
Hep E: Friends with Malaria and Relapsing Fever. 
Meningitis: Just one of the many diseases you can catch in a dorm room.

A handful of them are what I lovingly refer to as Ass to Hand to Mouth diseases. My qualifications for this job know no bounds.
