Sure, yeah it's a complex set of questions for sure! Thanks for your
advice, yeah healthy living, then resting+fasting if getting sick and
making intelligent decisions when/if getting sick makes sense! The
hospital food, yeah, I would avoid that too. Probably sticking to
coconut water if I wanted to eat I think.

It's difficult to make the decision on what to do though. Say I got
malaria, how would I judge the situation if I'm feeling very sick and the
doc's advice taking malaria tablets in high dosage? I mean, if I could
actually die from the "medicine" itself thats quite a difficult dilemma!

If you wanna add more detail, not neccesarily specific advice (and I
won't hold you accountable of course), but general detail especially in
regards to Malaria and snakebites/spiderbites that would be of
interest! Are "anti-dotes" the way to go in terms of dangerous bites?
and what about that malaria?

If there's nothing more to say, then I thank you for reading and
answering and taking the time!

Matt
