Enemy #1 - Dust.

“If it is not a worm, Amy, you must be allergic to dust.”

--Dr. Traian, my Medical Officer

This is by far the most amusing thing he has ever said to me, and as a PCMO in Guinea, he says some pretty amusing things. The best part was that Reid was sitting in the office with me and he couldn’t help but laugh. I was being told that I am allergic to dust, and I live in the Sahel, one of the dustiest, dirtiest, driest places in Guinea. We have storms made of DUST! My home is covered in a new layer of dirt and dust everday, forcing me to use my patron broom every morning.

It is kind of funny, if you think about it, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck. With proper care, however, it should be alright. Incha Allah (With the help of God).
