Question

As Jade and her expedition leader entered the cave, a colony of bats flew out at them! The interior of the cave was equally amazing to her. Jade learned more during a week in Ecuador than in 3 years of college geology classes. The flight home once again had several brief layovers, and it took nearly 24 hours to get back. Jade was exhausted but so thankful and happy. A week after returning to the U.S., Jade still feltjetlagged, had some back pain, and was very fatigued. It was hard to get back into her school routine. She was only mildly concerned about these problems, though, chalking up the back pain to crawling through caves and the exhaustion to the jetlag. However, when she started to get chest pains, a cough, fever, and chills, she figured she must have the flu-not surprising considering the number of airports she went through.
