Malaria in PNG

[baitballer]

As someone who contracted Malaria in PNG on a dive trip and ended up spending a week in hospital with it...Yes you can get malaria and I was on anti-malaria's! Doxycycline which is the recommend type. Trust me when I say you do not want malaria. It is treatable and quite easily so in the real world BUT trust me when I say you do not want it. It was horrendous unless you consider losing 15 pounds, shaking like a leaf for days, being either so cold you cannot warm up or so hot you want to climb in a freezer! Taking a tablet a day is no real big thing just don't take Larium.

Thanks for the replies. After reading these I think we will be doing drugs.

Not to nitpick but doxy isn't very effective...
