Bear in mind that taking medical advice from this or any other forum, and I particularly refer Golf Sierra's above, can be seriously harmful to your health. For all his touted experience it appears that GS is unaware that malaria is caused by a parasite and not a bacteria (as eny skoolboy kno) and that antibiotics are as relevant to malaria as a chainsaw is to a drowning. I don't doubt the local "doctors" may prescribe antibiotics, they may even be real ones as opposed to counterfeit (just possibly) or just aspirin but it's far more likely that UN medicines will be kosher, and of the correct sort for the disease.
GS does have it right on beer though. I suppose that's a start...
