    - You know what I don't have? Coughing. I didn't spread anything to anyone. -- nm - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 07:09 14
      - I honestly don't know the answer to this but can breathing spread flu (without coughing)? -- nm - zork May 7, 07:10 13

        you said you had 3 symptoms, which is a little more than what you are saying now. nm -- nm - groiny May 7, 07:20 1

        What malaria pill are you using. I remember a side effect of one is a small fever -- nm - Redmond May 7, 07:19 2
        
        Malarone. I didn't think it was giving me any side effects, but maybe so. - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 07:20 1

Yeah I would, actually. I dont' think those are very good measures at all. -- nm - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 07:04 2
