I'm looking through a document of all the fun diseases I'll have to look out for while in Cameroon. It's actually quite fun looking them all up on wikipedia. The only one I'm really concerned about is Dengue Fever, already had it once so if I get it again there's a MUCH greater chance i'll start hemorrhaging and die.

Here's a list, just for your viewing pleasure:

Amebiasis
Cholera
Dengue
Ebola
Giardiasis
Guinea-Worm
Hepatitis (all three of 'em!)
HIV/AIDS
Hookworm
Hypertension
Jaundice
Leishmaniasis
Lymphatic Filariasis
Malaria
Onchocerciasis
Polio
Schistosomiasis
Sickle Cell
Syphilis
Trypanosomiasis
Tuberculosis
Typhoid
Yellow Fever
