Will it turn your hair white? Pyrimethamine, one of the anti-malarial drugs, has that side effect. If Bill was taking that drug, it is certainly possible. My father's hair (what little there was of it) was jet black until the day he died, so it didn't turn his hair white.

In the early days, malaria was endemic to the Washington DC area; you didn't have to travel someplace exotic to get it.
I could be wrong, but I don't think it was really wiped out until DDT was invented. I
know that's the case in Sri Lanka and other tropical locations. When the enviros got them to ban DDT malaria came back, a lot of people died, and the governments started using it again anyway. That's why I sometimes call enviros the Friends of the Anopheles Mosquito.

Would that the mosquitos might take BACK the former malarial swamp that was -- and STILL IS -- Washington, DC.
I'm rooting for the mosquitos.

There's probably 100 reporters, standing outside his door, hoping he takes early retirement.

Original comment:
Politics aside, I wish he recovers and he needs our prayers. I dont mean to seem disrespectful,
no need to qualify yourself for asking honest questions
but why does he need our prayers?
He is ill and we are aware of it.
Because he is a celebrity?
no
Why not the lady down the street, or the newspaper carrier?
You know a lady down the street or the newspapper carrier that is in trouble, please let us know.
Do you really have all the time to pray for this guy
I have at least a minute, but not all the time. I'm a finite creature.
and everybody else, too?
You mean 6 billion people? No, I don't. Doing the math, a billion seconds is about 30 years. My life is too short.
How does that work?
Prayer? Better to ask a person of faith, who you know, than a stranger on the internet.
Or Do you look at lists of celebrities to pray for?
no
How about your local obits ...
sometimes
do you read each one so you can pray for each local family who has lost a loved one?
not everyone
How does this process work?
Prayer? See earlier comment.

Went to Africa without a vaccine?

The report I read over lunch today in USA today says that Malaria can have an incubation period of up to four years -- so they do not know where Matthews contracted the disease.

Not in Isreal but ya just know he HAD to show off what those Isreali's had done to the Palis. Probably got it there. Might also account for the stink - lol
To: Greg Weston
Matthews is a left-wing socialist jerk, hence an enemy of mine and freedom loving people everywhere. If you want to suck up to Matthews and his liberal blather, be my guest. In that case, look in the mirrow to see who the idiot is.

When I went trekking in Nepal a few years back I was vaccinated for Meningococcus, Typhoid, Polio, Denque Fever, Hepatitus B and a few others that I can't even remember. I was also given a shot of immunoglobulin and anti-malarial pills for the trip that I had to take at intervals. I also used one of those 0.22 micron backpacking pumps for water purification.
My arm was sore after that!...........but I never got sick.
To: Cautor
Well you better inform Clinton that Matthews is a "all-around Klintoon apologist". I don't think Bill likes him very much. Maybe Bill wishes a long painful illness on him as well. That would make you and Clinton the same thing...Mean spirited punks.
To: Greg Weston
Sounds like you're really a Matthews butt boy. I watched the mouth Matthews all during the Klintoon impeachment and he spent practically every show bringing on shills for the Sinkmeister, and agreeing with them. And yes, if you think my disgust with Chris Matthews makes me mean spirited--a trite characterization mostly used by liberals--then I'm proud of it.
