Sick in India

So I got something. I have a fever, body aches, no appetite, nausea, etc. I have no idea what I have, but I hope my body fights it off on it’s own. I am too scared to get help in the hospitals here. We had to go into a hospital a few weeks ago and it was filthy. I mean it, everything had a layer of dirt on it and there were mosquitoes flying around in the hundreds. So I refuse to go get treated in India. I have no idea how I became sick, but here are a list of things that may have caused my illness:

1. The smell open sewers everyday throughout the entire city.
2. Huge piles of garbage getting a gust of wind and blowing up against my legs.
3. No hot water to wash my hands, body, clothes, or dishes.
4. Taking a bite out of a street samosa before I looked down and saw a huge black ant, fried inside.
5. Jogging outside and inhaling the exhaust from each vehicle that stops to stare at me before moving on.
6. Shaking hands with someone who may or may not have just pulled over on the side of the road to pee in front of thousand of people around him.

Not really sure how I acquired whatever I have, but these things could have easily been the culprits.
