I lived in Angola '89-'92, where malaria was known to happen. I remember hearing that our village mayor was in a serious condition for a month or two.
From what I heard, getting malaria was bigtime suckage, but not the end of the world. Interesting fact: if you do get infected, you might be better off staying in Africa, where the doctors know the beast well.
