Many of you have read this on Facebook, the Five Rules given by our medical team:
#1 Don't GET BIT (Dogs & monkeys carry rabies, mosquitoes carry Yellow Fever and Malara, Pirana hurt!!)
#2 Don't GET HIT (They drive on the left side of the road in many of the places we visit. Look both ways before crossing the street)
#3 Don't DO "IT" ( STD's and pregnancy. Pregnant girls/women are sent home.)
#4 Don't GET LIT (Students who break the liquor rules are likely to be sent home with refund for the unused portion of the trip or airfare home.)
#5 Don't EAT SHIT (Always wash your hands before putting them in your mouth. Do not buy food
from street vendors ANYWHERE!)
Well, someone didn't follow the rules and more than one person was bitten by a monkey in the Amazon jungle. Word is that a girl was poking it with a stick!! The real/whole story will probably come out in a few days. Luckily the rabies medication was available here in Brazil or they would have been sent home for treatment. A Brazillian doctor came aboard the ship in Macapa today and administered the injections.
