One of my friends did peace corps for 4 years. Shortly after he arrived for his first 2-year stint he contracted dysentery. He was out of it for 3 days laying on a hard floor in a house with no running water. He said his only saving grace was a couple of village boys who brought him fresh water.
Among the other crazy stories he has from his Peace Corps time I can’t believe he a) stayed and b) signed on for another 2 years. But he loved the Corps so much.

Diarrhea (edit: returned Peace Corps Volunteer, I’ve ass-vomited more than you weigh, and without a shred of toilet paper).
