I totally had this after coming from Costa Rica. It first began as digestive problems, and then suddenly my joints began to hurt. It began In my legs and hips, then went to my arms and shoulders, and ended in my neck. It was the worst experience of my life. Felt like a car ran over me.

Another great video. Engaging and informative, and again, really liking the presenter's style. Arrived here from related presentation on Zika.
