This was back in 1990... so, almost a lifetime ago.
Basically, a red tint over my chest and torso, very itchy, slight fever.
Sore throat, coated tongue, but that’s really about it. Or at least, what I can remember now.
I went to sick call at NAB, they diagnosed it, and gave me some medicine to take, and put me on limdu (limited duty), so I was basically on barracks watch for a week.
I managed to miss scarlet fever, but my best friend of the time (and neighbor, which means, better part of a mile from here out in The Boonies) had it and was a little off kilter for around a month. I wasn't allowed contact with him during the interval.
wow thx! I’ve never had any experience with it
