I want to live in the Amazon rain forest

It's just so beautiful. I'd also be half naked, paint myself in ways like the natives do, and try to join one of their tribes.

On a scale of 1 to 10 how likely is it that i'd die within the first two years?

10

There's a 10/10 chance that you'd die in a matter of days from dysentery simply because you had to drink undrinkable water at some point.

2 new fun words for your vocabulary:

Bolson is cutting it down so you better go soon
Maybe you can try to protect it with your life

Aren't waters in the Amazon supposed to be naturally clean?

elaborate

it is "naturally clean" but you are not able to handle the local bacteria like native peoples are

thin of it this way: if a native rainforest person would be taken to Hungary and he would be given Hungarian tapwater, he would die in a days from the Hungarian bacteria

I'm fairly certain European immune systems are supposed to be more robust. I mean, wasn't that why Indians dropped like flies in North America but colonists were just fine?

>if a native rainforest person would be taken to Hungary and he would be given Hungarian tapwater, he would die in a days from the Hungarian bacteria
There are no harmful bacteria in our tapwater, they chlorinate the shit out of them.

You would die in a matter of days. Also, you would kill most of the natives who have no immunity against your Eurogerms

>I'm fairly certain European immune systems are supposed to be more robust
LOL

I dont know about your shithole hungary, but Euros ive in mostly sterilized environments most of their lives. All the handwashing, bathing, laundry, medicines, etc, you go out to that jungle and youll be assaulted by shit you have ZERO defense against and it woould eat you fucking alive

>On a scale of 1 to 10 how likely is it that i'd die within the first two years?
You wouldn't die from drinking water. You'd probably die from many mosquitos there that can infect you with diseases such as yellow fever, malaria, dengue, etc.
Also, you'd kill the natives with your own bugs.
Don't do that.

When an American linguist went there to study a language with his family and this happened:

>At one point, Keren and Shannon became delirious with malaria, and Everett had to put them in a boat and try to get them to a doctor, many miles away.

>They have an average life expectancy of around 45 years, mainly because of malaria.

>half naked
Enjoy mosquitos kek

>first two years
How about first two weeks?

>During the trip, Koepcke could not sleep at night because of insect bites, which became infected. After nine days, several spent floating downstream, she found a boat moored near a shelter, where she found the boat's motor and fuel tank. Relying again on her father's advice, Koepcke poured gasoline on her wounds, which succeeded in removing thirty-five maggots from one arm, then waited until rescuers arrived.
>thirty-five maggots

Forgot to add
>As a teenager in 1971, Koepcke was the lone survivor of the LANSA Flight 508 plane crash, and then survived 11 days alone in the Amazon rainforest.

YIKES. Don't the natives have some plant paste or anything to repel the insects with?

Smoke is your best bet. Fire will boil your water clean, cook the bugs you are likely going to have to eat since I doubt you know much about hunting or trapping, maybe keep away juaguars?, and the smoke keeps away mosquitoes.

>thirty-five maggots from one arm
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOD FUCK NOOO

I wonder if the average Brazilian has to worry about such things

The average Brazilian does not live anywhere near the Amazon. It's as far to where I live, as Kazakhstan is as far from Hungary.

I live in São Paulo. You could fit many European countries between São Paulo and Amazonas (where the forest is).
We do have problems with dengue, though. But It's not that bad. You just get a high fever. If you rest and drink lots of liquids, nothing bad will happen.
These diseases usually have bad consequences in the poorer areas of the country.

well i'm thoroughly disgusted now

stay safe friends

>well i'm thoroughly disgusted now
kek
Things are always better in our heads.
