History-taking

Some routine questions for history-taking in The Gambia that are new to me:

How many wives does your husband have?
How many of your children are still alive?

Do ants follow your urine (suggests high sugar content!)?
Do the symptoms appear/worsen when you burn incense?

For patients with gastric ulcers: Are you fasting? (worsens symptoms).
