My eyes hurt when I look to the peripherals. My body is unusually sore and aching. I slept more than normal for the last 3 days. I went swimming in fresh water 3 days ago, at Maunawili Falls.
When I made my campsite reservations and picked up some topos for hiking it seemed like all of the tourist literature mentioned leptospirosis. Don't wash open wounds in fresh water. Don't submerge your head in the water. It is carried and transmitted by various small animals, and water is often infected when contaminated animals urinate in the fresh water.
Although I made sure I didn't have any open wounds when I went into the water, I admittedly submerged my head, and I'm not the best at not inhaling water when I swim.
John had warned me against it, and I had warned my friends against it. Now I may have it.
Oh well, all in a good life.
