LIDICKER 1969 Went to sleep in Griffin's caravan by the log, because it was cooler (no air conditioning) & the bed had springs so we could lie comfortably with my sore muscle. Began malaria treatment today. Aug 3 Felt pretty weak. Stunned a few minutes & rested on + off all day. Fever in afternoon but less severe than before. Aug 4 Felt better but still very weak. Stunned 1 small Malaria & did minor parts on this + cty. 4 P. maculatus (3111). Also stunned a couple of Malarays from the Cyluniki Seminary Took easy. Light fever only today. About 2230 began feeling very tired again & still was until about 0130. Aug 5 5:th again today. Stunned the P. maculatus in the morning. At lunch brought in 14 Sycoray starlings from the 5 mist nets he is operating locally. Some were dead & died shortly. I gave a drink to 38 or 59 + released. Only 1 + (new term) flew away immediately. Most of the others definitely died. I went to rest at 1130. By noon I felt very sick. The malaria treatments apparently haven't been doing anything for me. When Tom Geddes (and) got back from a driving trip with Frank Telfort we decided to go into Maday Hospital. Left about 1800. Checked in & then checked out.
