My adventure years were also third world. And war zones. I took doxy for malaria prophylaxis, as I was in an area of multi-drug resistant malaria. It worked pretty well, but in the Land of No Sunscreen I quit taking it for about a week hoping to get over my sunburn and get a nice tan. And boom, I got resistant falciparum. It wasn’t that bad. The cure was much worse than the disease (”toxic doses of quinine”). I was deaf for a couple of weeks from it, but my hearing came back. Yay. Not everyone’s does. And, oh yes, I did get a great tan and went back on my doxy.

Wow, that’s a lot of years of raising kids!

Glad your Covid was mild. I had it in February of 2020 and it was scary bad. Way worse than malaria. I did not go to the hospital, but probably should have. Right now, I either have Omicron or a bad cold. I never get colds, so ...

You should get tested just to see if it’s recurred

I don’t have an answer for that
