Anagram/word puzzle

[Daij]

Can you find two words of the same five letters to replace the BLANKS in this sentence in order to complete it sensibly?

“Whilst on the BLANK he was struck by the BLANK of the country.”

[boxtops]

Are the letters in the same order in both words or can the letters be used in a different order?

[stoatie2011]

Whilst on the BIDET he was struck by the DEBIT of the country.

[Daij]

I'm assuming a different order. I think it would be easier to solve if that was the case rather than trying to find the same word that would fit both blanks and result in a sentence that makes sense.
