"Teacher Wu, you are simply ......" Guo Ruming didn't know how to comment.

"Too cautious. Matthew added.

"Yes, you're just too cautious. ”

"No way. Wu Mian said, "Malaria is too fierce, and it only took a short time for the Roman Empire to go from its peak to its decline." Historians have speculated a lot, one of which is about the malaria epidemic that led to the disappearance of a vast empire. ”

"At the end of the 20th century, British and American archaeologists excavated the bones of a child from ancient Roman tombs and found that the bones contained genes that had been infected with malaria. ”

"Not really. ”

"Who knows. Wu Mian chatted very casually, and rarely had the momentum of a scholar, "I know a big brother who went to work in Côte d'Ivoire and got malaria five times in five years. Although there are quinine and artemisinin, there are still some malaria patients who cannot be saved. ”

"I thought artemisinin was a panacea. Matthew was stunned for a moment and said.

"It's not. Wu Mian shook his head, "Falciparum malaria is very fatal, a few years ago, a soldier of the peacekeeping force was infected with falciparum malaria and died under the premise of artemisinin treatment." ”

"Uh......"

"Malaria is also evolving, and all the antimalarial drugs that are now known, the malaria parasite has some resistance to them. The so-called magic height is one foot high, and the road is one foot high, which is almost the truth. ”

"It's better to go to Africa. Guo Ruming said, "A friend of Xiaowen passed away a few years ago. ”

One girl nodded, sighed, and said, "My friend went to Malaysia to play, and he didn't think about malaria, that is, there were too many mosquitoes, and it was uncomfortable to live in." On the first day after I came back, my limbs were sore, I thought I had a cold, and I rested at home. ”

"The next day she had a fever, and she didn't pay attention to it at the time, thinking that the cold was getting worse, so she took cold medicine and added some antibiotics. ”

"On the third day, I started to have diarrhea, but the fever basically went away. I thought that the cold was better, maybe I was traveling, and I was not used to the water and soil. We laughed at her at the time and dragged her to eat hot pot, and no one cared. ”

But when she ate the hot pot, she could see that her body had not recovered, and she was specially given the mushroom pot she wanted, so that she drank the mushroom soup all night and sweated. ”

The girl named Xiaowen recounted the past, and her expression was a little sad.

Ma Xiude felt that Director Guo was really ...... What to say about him, it makes sense that people mix well.

He glanced at Wu Mian intentionally or unintentionally? Eyes flickering? Matthew was surprised to find that Wu Mian didn't seem to be looking at the girl who was talking about the past, but staring at another girl.

That girl should be a screenwriter? Wearing glasses? Sven and thin. But the skin in general? Somewhat wrinkled, and not tight? A little slack? It's not the same age as her.

It is estimated that he stayed up late, and Matthew had his own judgment. But is Mr. Wu staring at other girls so well?

"My girlfriend was sweating a lot that night, and when she came home, she looked more energetic. The next day, she completely subsided her fever and stopped having diarrhea? Thought it was good? She also goes out for a run. ”

"But on the fifth day, she didn't come to work, she called and turned off the phone, and I didn't care at that time. Got the news a little later that she had passed away. ”

"......" Matthew De and Wei Dabao were a little surprised, is malaria so urgent?

"It was said to be a sudden febrile seizure? When I arrived at the hospital, I was not breathing. Xiaowen said, "We are all sad? I didn't expect this disease...... Later, I heard from the doctor that if I could be diagnosed on the fourth day? There should still be salvation. But who would have thought that the day before I went to the gym and the day after I suddenly had a febrile convulsion? The people are gone. ”

"Isn't there no symptoms ahead? Rather, the symptoms are not directive. "Wu Mian Dao?" Malaria in China is basically imported, and doctors do not have much experience, especially doctors under the age of 40. ”

"Thankfully, there is artemisinin. Guo Ruming said.

"Artemisinin is not a miracle drug, it is not a panacea. However, to achieve the same efficacy, there are very few side effects, and because it is relatively new, there has been little resistance in the past. "It is estimated that in another 20 years, there will be artemisinin-resistant varieties of malaria parasites." ”

"Teacher Wu, according to what you said, you really can't go to tropical countries casually in the future. Guo Ruming had some regrets, "When I was young, I liked to make documentaries, but I couldn't eat enough for documentaries, so I changed careers. ”

"You're not full, you're all overfed. Wu Mian said with a smile.

"What's the matter, it's just a mouthful of food. "I want to wait until I'm old enough to make a documentary about global scenic spots, especially in Africa." But hearing you say that, I'm a little scared. ”

"There is no way, malaria cannot be controlled on the African side. Wu Mian said, "If you really want to go, I recommend that you take precautions." ”

"What protection?"

"The main thing is mosquito repellent. Wu Mian said, "Spray mosquito water every day without money...... But you can't spray too much. I met a French biologist who sprayed a lot of mosquito repellent water on his body, which caused spontaneous combustion. Fortunately, there were people around, and it was extinguished in time, and the burns were not serious. ”

"......" Guo Ruming was speechless.

"Take your time, there are really not many diseases that can be completely conquered. Wu Mian said, "By the way, someone recently submitted a manuscript to the Lancet, and I took a look, although I rejected the manuscript, I was still more interested in brain holes." ”

"Oh?

"It was a doctor in England who was hypothetizing what would happen if Santa Claus had a contagion. ”

"Foreigners are really too full to eat, and they have nothing to do. Matthew said.

"Not really. "They assumed that Santa Claus had a contagion, and then they visited children around the world at Christmas, and they found that if Santa Claus had the flu, then there would be an increase in flu among children around the world." ”

"The flu is still a minor disease, but if Santa Claus is infected with measles, which is a more contagious and pathogenic disease, then the consequences are more troublesome and can cause a global measles outbreak. ”

"Mr. Wu, Santa Claus is fictional. Guo Ruming said, "And today, with the development of medical care, how can there be such a global pandemic infectious disease? This is too bizarre." ”

"Hey. Wu Mian shook his head slightly, "I don't think his analysis is wrong, but because The Lancet is serious, I suggested that he publish New England magazine." ”

"Is that okay?"

"People have professional mathematical models to analyze. "I asked, and the November issue of New England magazine would publish this article." ”

"Myth and legend has it that one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse who judged humanity at the end of the day was the plague. "From smallpox to plague to the Spanish flu, who knows when the next time will be." ”
