My next trip is to Peru to hike the Inca Trail and visit the Amazon. Because of the Amazon part, I had to get a Yellow Fever vaccine and Malaria pills. I also had to get a fresh round of Hep. and Typhoid and a flu vaccine. All in all it was about $500 and insurance doesn't cover it.
After taking my 3rd Typhoid pill yesterday, I woke up this morning with a rash all over my stomach. It's really hot in SF today and my apartment is blazing so when I got home I put on shorts and realized that the rash has spread all over my legs. It doesn't itch or hurt, but it's still pretty disturbing. It looks like I have chicken pox or something. I read that a rash and hives are a rare side effect of the Typhoid pills, so I guess I'm just thaaaat lucky.
There's been a lot of anxious preparation for this trip and I'm ready to just get on the plane already! 10 day count down starts now.
