Glad you’re still with us.
Hope you don’t mind me asking, but what was that experience like? How were you treated?

Plague was bad and painful. It’s a hemorrhagic fever type disease. I got it from a defective batch of vaccine. I shared a quarantine ward with 2 or 3 other GIs who’d received the same vaccine. Early symptoms are massively swollen lymph glands; followed by hemorrhage under the skin (black pools of blood). Treatment was with streptomycin, which took it out in a few days. Of course it took the doctors a week to figure out what we had, before giving us the right meds.
