Well then, nice to meet a fellow Nigerian :) Ebola is a recent thing AFAIK, so it would make sense that no one was freaking out about it when you were a kid. T

To be fair, it does sound like you were in rural Nigeria, so my Malaria experience is likely different from yours
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoSomeone pointed out that us Europeans were probably a lot more sensitive to this than others, who had been around it, all their lives. Also, my mother was the prime vector for my information, and she might have been a bit freaked out by all the fun ways Africa has to kill people. But I'm still here. I seem to have survived. My African friends would run around barefoot over the most God-awful crap, and were some of the healthiest people I've ever known.
