Let us all know what it's like there mosquito-wise!
Someone insists there are no mosquitoes there or hardly saw more than one....
Thougth I had heard that you should not get sby's before a trip to FNA, but looks like people are getting those.
You start getting your Malarone tablets the day before and you might end up in Tehran instead! They suggest to take Malarone tablets a day before the trip, but this is an extract from a medical website....
Malarone is a newly released medication for prevention and treatment of chloroquine-resistant forms of malaria, including cerebral malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum. Studies have shown Malarone to be 98% effective in prevention of malaria which is as effective as mefloquine or doxycycline.
Malarone is a fixed-dose combination of two antimalarial agents, atovaquone and proguanil hydrochloride. These interfere with different pathways in the biosynthesis of pyrimidines that are the building blocks of nucleic acids involved in DNA structure. Thus, the agents block malaria replication both inside and outside the red blood cell.
Malarone is taken once daily with food or milk,
starting two days before entering a malaria risk area and
continuing daily until seven days after leaving the area of malaria risk.
