Mosquitoes are one example of bugs who can carry diseases which are harmful to all humans. Being born in America, I was naturally born with a weaker immune system than others. My family was struggling with income and trying to navigate help with health and governmental issues. When traveling to Vietnam, study shows that traveling, especially flying, may weaken your immune system. So when I arrived in Vietnam, it was basically as if I was purposely getting myself sick. Other than harmful mosquitoes and the negative impact that flying may have, the sudden change in climate played a role towards my weak immune system. However, after going through all the pain in the first couple weeks of vacation, my mother would make me Chao, which is a very traditional dish in Asia and was discovered to be very beneficial to the human body. However my mother would make it in a special way and add more than 4 tablespoons of sugar, due to how picky I was when I was a kid. This dish helped me through difficult times when I was constantly coughing at night or freezing because of a fever. The warm spoon of sweet rice porridge pushed the sickness away. I will be sure to teach this dish to others, and pass down this dish to the next generation.
