Last week when I was at capoeira there was a woman there I had never seen there before. During the second half of training we usually ‘play’. This is when we form a circle and 2 people at a time fight for lack of a better term. Anyway, this woman – who we will call Dolinda – fought the entire class (including me) one by one. After the class she was exhausted and the instructor asked her why she looked so tired. She responded, because I’m just getting over malaria.
Now maybe its just me, but I think being infected with malaria is relevant information I would like to know BEFORE I decide to fight you. Because in doing so we get in fairly close quarters with one another and maybe this is my paranoia kicking in…but I just want to know tidbits of information like that.
Anyway, I talked about it with my fellow capoeira students and they weren’t troubled by her revelation. Am I missing something…?

My dear..unless you got bit by the same Anopheles mosquitoes that bit "dolinda" and you never got antimalaria drugs before you left, then I would worry!
But it is still information you need to know!!
If it wasn't clear you were a nurse before, it is now. lol
