They had a bad outbreak with troops during the invasion into Iraq 2003. Our whole Task Force go it. We had guys getting IV's every day, and had to stay in make shift BAS's we had at the time as FOB's were not built up yet. Us and Marines we were with lived in burnt out or destroyed buildings and old Camps the Iraqi's used as we moved all the time. I got bad, that stuff makes you fill like your going to die, and this was about three weeks after I got over walking pneumonia.
