What are the symptoms of "yellow fever," and is there a cure?

[RACETRAITOR]

Yellow fever begins suddenly after an incubation period of three to five days in the human body. In mild cases only fever and headache may be present. Within 24 hours about 15% develop a more severe form, in which they enter the "toxic phase" characterized by fever, chills, bleeding into the skin, paradoxically slow heartbeat, headache, back pains, and extreme prostration. Nausea, vomiting, and constipation are common. Jaundice usually appears on the second or third day. After the third day the symptoms recede, only to return with increased severity in the final stage, during which there is a marked tendency to hemorrhage internally; the characteristic �coffee ground� vomitus contains blood. The patient then lapses into delirium and coma, followed by death in about 50% of those who enter the toxic phase.

There is no true cure for yellow fever, therefore vaccination is important. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive only. Fluid replacement, fighting hypotension and transfusion of blood derivates is generally needed only in severe cases. In cases that result in acute renal failure, dialysis may be necessary.

In 1937, Max Theiler, working at the Rockefeller Foundation, developed a safe and highly efficacious vaccine for yellow fever that gives a ten-year or more immunity from the virus.

Being serious now: Are we talking about the actual Yellow Fever from visiting a tropical place or is this a joke about falling for Asian women?

[piratebryan]

Symptoms of yellow fever are the desire to only procreate with Asians and those of Asian decent and the overlooking the opposite sex of ones own country or culture. Onset can be as quick as a few minutes to as long as a few years. Cures range from a simple affair with someone of Asian decent to a fullblown relationship. As no known studies have been conducted, this is all folk knowledge gathered over the last few hundred years of East/West diplomacy.

have never experienced it, but I do have "Latin" fever.

once you have that, you really see no need for females from one's cold and lifeless "culture".

there is no known cure unless you cheat on her and she does a Lorena Bobbit.

Yellow fever is a term typically used by large, disgustingly ugly western women to try to explain why they aren't getting any.

Dudes use it to explain why they're so horny.

Both are lies.
