I was a child in the late 1990s and my physician parents were working in Southeast Asia. I managed to catch dengue and malaria simultaneously.

I know two folks who died from dengue. Healthy individuals too. I am a sickly fuck and survived my brush with it.

This guy survived it with hardmode tag-team double-danger rules with malaria. Goddamn.
