I'm more comfortable having caught malaria (the non lethal form obviously) than I would being struck by lightning because I wanted to stop a yellow mouse from eating my food.
(ps: the structure of my sentence feels fucked up, feel free to correct me!!)
Your English is typically fantastic. In this particular case, I would smooth out the tenses and simplify the whole thing a bit: "I'd rather catch malaria than have some yellow mouse zap me with lightening."
Thanks!! Can this sentence be remade in a way that says I have already called malaria and it's not just a hypothesis? (Not that I'm proud of it and want to flex but I'm curious of how the sentence would look).
Hmm. How about: "I'm more comfortable with my freaking malaria than getting zapped by some random yellow mouse." Is that closer?

I still can't figure out how to make it flow with the "food" fragment from your original sentence. I tried, but I can't quite get it.
"As someone who has had malaria I'd rather go through that than have some hostile yellow rodent electrocute me everytime I don't give it my rice balls."
