You are huddled up in bed trying to sleep off the one-day flu and over comes some baboon who goes on and on about drinking too much alcohol, the benefits of yoga &amp; banana yoghurt and then gives you a hug and BAM! Baboon fever!!! Not only do you have a headache and need to sleep, but now you smell of baboon poo too&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, like the one-day flu, Baboon Fever is short lived and most monkeys seem to recover within a day or so.
