Sounds awesome. Malaria seems like it has the capacity to really ruin someone's life.
I contracted a unknown variant of malaria when I was a kid. It really wasn't a pleasant experience. There's sickness; then on a completely different level there's malaria.
It won't ruin your life - if you survive you'll be left as healthy as you were before. However, that's IF you survive.
That explains a lot ;)
Except that anytime you are otherwise sick or generally run down in the future it could return and make you very ill again (or kill you). I hope that this does not happen to you. Good luck!
