#4 Doubt it's food poisoning, Chuch. Sounds like something spread by mosquitos, which Panama has in plenty (I speak from experience). There are a number of tropical fevers in the country, and I doubt the Panamanians sprayed as often as the military or Canal Zone government. I contracted one of those fevers in 1968, spent five days flat of my back semi-conscious, and lost 35 pounds. The medics never did give me a diagnosis... I was one of three people at Albrook AFB that had similar problems.
