    The nickname for dengue fever is the bone crusher, because of the excruciating body pain it causes. It also causes depression as a symptom. People who aren’t normally depressed often report feeling incredibly low or moody during the infection. That shit is no joke, it can cause organ failure and lead to death. This is why we don’t get rid of the CDC or fire the department of health.
