How about the elephant in the middle of the room. NIGHT AMBUSH PATROLS!!!! Biggest stomach twister for me. I don’t know if that counts, though.

Bamboo poisoning really put the hurt to the machete man. I hated rice paddies. Vulnerable and wet misery. How about prickly heat rash on our back from lugging back packs?
