Ok, allow Dr. Aubrey to help. There's a 7 to 10 day incubation period after contracting Malaria. Which puts the approximate time of infection in... Korea. Uh oh!
Next comes a series of symptoms in stages. The cold stage includes a cold sensation and shivering. The hot stage has fever, headaches, vomiting, and sometimes seizures. Finally, the sweating stage has profuse sweating, then a return to normal temperature and exhaustion. Yeah, I'd say that's a bad day.
Maybe the symptoms are just caused by being forced to return to working in a haegwon in Korea. Makes me want to vomit and have a seizure, too.

If it's malaria, you'll feel like you are cold and hot at the same time, and cold/hot will go in cycles. Definitely with shivers, sweats and vomiting. take cloroquin for three days if you're not better within a day.
hope to catch up with you soon!!!
