leland Report post Posted September 1, 2013 Joshs wife informed me he is very sick, possibly malaria. She is trying to get a hold of the other hunters that went on the trip with him. Rick corven should know their #s. If anyone knows the hunters he went with could you please have them call Jen @ 928-202-7707. Josh is in hospital and she can't get a hold of him. Also, please pray for josh, he could use it right now. Leland Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snapshot Report post Posted September 1, 2013 Sorry to hear that. South Africa is mostly malaria free, but not impossible. There are some nasty Ticks in SA that can make you very sick.from the CDC.African tick-bite fever is a bacterial infection that is spread through the bite of infected ticks. Symptoms usually appear within 2 weeks after a tick bite and often include fever, headache, muscle soreness, and a rash. At the site of the tick bite will be a red skin sore with a dark center. Hope they get it figured out, and Josh gets well soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted September 2, 2013 I talked with Josh this morning. His appendix burst and he dealt with the pain for a couple days before going to the hospital (which is VERY dangerous due to infection possibilities!). He got emergency surgery in Cottonwood very soon after he got there. He is doing better now but is very tired and needing to rest up. He expects to be at the hospital another couple days.
