Answer 6

Hi, my grandad was bitten by the Tsetse fly in Africa and died in 1930 aged 34 of sleeping sickness. I actually know very little about him but remember seeing photos of him when I was little. He would have been about 32 and looked about 80, very white, very stiff and of course very ill. The disease is progressive and leads to come and death after overall gradual paralysis when the fly's poison (or whatever it injects), eventually penetrates the blood brain barrier. My Mum was 4 at the time he died.
