'World¡¯s hottest scientist' diagnosed with 'deadly' disease
In her video, Moore recounted how the journey began with numerous bug bites. She said, "But I didn¡¯t start feeling weird until a few days in." Initially, she noticed severe eye pain, which soon escalated to a high fever, rendering her bedridden and desperate to cool down.
Upon returning to the US, Moore experienced a severe rash outbreak. This prompted her to get tested, and the results confirmed she had dengue fever. In her video caption, she explained, ¡°There is no specific treatment for dengue, and while it can be fatal, most cases are less severe.¡±
Moore detailed her symptoms before the diagnosis, including a significant loss of appetite despite hiking 9 to 12 kilometres daily. She admitted she was initially hesitant to share her ordeal, fearing it might deter others from exploring remote locations. However, she emphasized, ¡°But the trip was so worth it, and I would encourage anyone to get out there and see more remote places of the world.¡±
When asked about her recovery, Moore mentioned her experience was ¡°probably worse¡± due to the intense physical activity she engaged in while her body was struggling with the illness.
