Cool Antimalarials

I don’t know if you need them but look into the side effects of the antimalarials.
If you are going to use them for a prolonged period.
Also a lot of strains of malaria are immune to the antimalarials available.
Also after you get back home there is another bunch of drugs you have to take to flush the unhatched eggs out of your liver if they are there. That is what I had to do a few years ago, don’t know if it is still the same now though. I did not feel good they whole time that I was there and using them, feeling like shit for 4 weeks wasn’t fun either but I guess neither would be getting malaria. When I seen all of the side effects and that combined with feeling not so good for 4 weeks I swore never again.
