We tried to understand what happened to him by asking Esteban directly. “When I woke up one morning, my right eye was swollen and it was the adventurers who told me that something had happened to me. I could see everyone was on high alert so I called the doctor with the walkie talkie. They gave me an eye check up but even today I have no idea what really happened! I have absolutely no idea what I got. I must have been bitten at night by a mosquito or a spider but to this day, it still remains a great mystery!“, he told us.

But then what about the allergies mentioned by Denis Brogniart in the show? Esteban responds:Maybe it was but I don’t know myself! And in this case it would be an allergy to what? Maybe I ate a fish the night before that wasn’t good… Or maybe it was the sand fleas. In any case, I was not necessarily in pain, but it was binding and I still felt a little in danger for my health. It’s always a little scary… I didn’t get a game release even though it could have.”
