Malaria tablets

[Forza_Swindon]

I used Malarone when I went to India, I think I had to take them for a week before and a week after or something like that.  My trip was a fortnight and I was absolutely fine.  The only nausea I experienced was after I got back, on the final two days of taking the tablets, but I think it was well worth the expense.
Definitely take Marmite with you and eat as much bread as possible, as the yeast thing does help to some extent.

The nausea was nothing to do with the Desperado's you were drinking then   Is there anywhere locally that sells them?  Only ever seen them abroad!

malarone probably is the best - they are more expensive, but you only need to take them for a week either side of your trip. Most of the other ones you need to take for up to a month before you leave so that your body can build up a level of the chemical that makes it effective.  I had mefloquinine and chlorquat a few years back - gave me the shits and in most areas of the world the malria parasite is resistant to it anyway.  I know several people that have had malarone; they've not reported any problems and all said they were worth the extra cost.

over all, you really don't want to risk getting malaria - really nasty disease, likely to have problems all the rest of your life if you get it.

Looks like its malarone for me then.

No chance of me ever eating Marmite, id rather have the malaria thanks.

Im going to use the Deet 100 anti mozzie spray from Blacks too. Lethal stuff, it melts plastic!!!
