There have been a few reports of some hashers coming down with Chikungunya after running in Bukit Kiara.
The reports were mostly by members of Mother Hash who ran in that area with the KL Harriets recently.
Our member, Bandit, who planned to set his run at Bukit Kiara also came down with an unexplained illness 4 days after he did a recce in that area. Only after hearing of reports by Mother hash, did he realise that the symptoms of his illness were similar to that of chikungunya.
Bandit is recovering, but the poor soul appears to be religiously following one doctor's advise to him to stop drinking beer, apparently on a diagnosis of "too much water retention". Is it not a sin to ask a hasher to stop drinking beer?
Due to this Chikungunya scare, Bandit, also being a victim, has agreed to move the runsite for his run on 25/10/2008 from Bukit Kiara to Bukit Gasing.
There should be a general advisory that Klang Valley hash chapters avoid Bukit Kiara for some time. Those joggers from Taman Tun should also be advised to note and take precautions.
