Are you sure? I contracted Degue Hemorrhagic Fever aka "Break Bone Fever" a long time ago and it hurt, but it didn't hurt that much.  But I did break a few teeth.

Aloha, Andy Irons: Champion surfer, 32, dies of dengue fever

Read more: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/hawaii/detail?entry_id=76135


The surfing world and his home island of Kaua'i are reeling from the news that three-times world champion Andy Irons died this morning, reportedly from dengue fever. According to the Hawaii News Now report, the 32-year-old surfer died in Dallas en route to the Garden Island, after pulling out of a competition in Puerto Rico.

A longer story on his hometown paper's Web Site, GardenIsland.com, reports that Irons had been diagnosed with dengue fever in Puerto Rico, and had first sought medical treatment in Miami before deciding to see his doctor on Kaua'i. He was on a layover when it was determined he was too sick to continue flying home, and after checking himself into a hotel, never woke up, according to GardenIsland.com.

Irons' wife, Lyndie, is expecting their first child within a month, GardenIsland.com reported. His younger brother, Bruce, is also a champion surfer based on Kaua'i, and sponsored with Andy and their family the annual Irons Brothers Pinetrees Classic, a contest at their home break for young surfers. Andy Irons had to miss this year's Classic in March, the ninth such event, but spoke with the keiki contestants via cell phone from Australia, where he was recovering from an injury, according to an earlier Garden Island story.

Yea it really is too bad.  My daughters husband called to tell me about it earlier today.  He surfed a few times with Andy back home on Oahu.  My grandson is going to enter his contest next year.  He just competed in the 34th Annual Menehune Classic on the North Shore last weekend.  Waves were shitty, today they are 20+ foot.  He has another contest in Makaha later thsi month I think.  Surfers seems to all stick together.

No the message here is...if you are sick...stay in bed and rest - the amount of people I have that come sick to work is fucking unbelievable.
Everytime I have to send them home.
If you are really sick (and we are not talking about the man flue here) stay the fuck home, get hydrated, don't see your daughter, don't go to the gym.
Just fucking rest and sleep.

His sickness was drug addiction. He was addicted to methodone, ambien, xanax, among other things. You can tell from his slurred speech in the video clip. He OD'd on methodone is my guess.

Very sad - he was an amazing surfer.

Besides, "surfing" is considered an extremely dangerous sports where people die every day of big waves, sharks or catching a cold so i say it was his professional risk.
