Well, some eat them (malarone), and some don't, but even those who eat them gets malaria and those who don't gets away without having malaria. I don't due to the side effect dehydration headache and so on. The treatment if you get malaria is really good down here in Nigeria and will leave you grounded for a few days (3-5 approx). wouldn't recommend any other medicine like Lariam cause the side effects can be even harder. make sure that the company you work for has a medical centre that you can attend 24/7.
