I don't think that the French are ignorant of precaustions or stupid so I would wonder if there was a large underlying health problem such as borreliosis, cousin of relapsing fever. Very complicated chronic but not acute. Heat can help cure this disease but if you are not monitored for complications it is easy to go into seisures, organ failure etc. Knocks about 20 years off peoples lives. Ran into a bunch of folks looking for treatment options online.
