Readers Cameraphone: No One Here Gets Out Alive
Says our (quite rightfully freaked the hell out) reader: “I work in the same building as Student Health Services at UPenn, and this scrap of paper has been sitting in the stairwell on their floor for a few days. In case it’s illegible, that second box reads ‘Hepatitis B.’ Great, cause I totally needed another reason to be bathing in Purell this spring.”

Not to worry. This is a suggested immunization form they give you when you travel to far away lands or live at the dorms.
When travelling to India I got 6 ouchies. Hep A and B, Polio booster, Tetanus booster, Bilharzia, and the Plague. All at that same UPenn immuno-center. Oh, and word to the wise, when they give you malaria pills, dont take them with a whole bottle of Prosecco and a bowl full of green. you’ll hear voices all night.

No joke about the malaria pills. I was offered the 1x/week kind, which can give hallucinations. No thank you. So instead I took the daily malarone, and had anxiety for two weeks. I would wake up with a racing heart and mind almost every night… in addition to hearing my fellow travelers screaming in nightmares from their anti malaria pills.
