hullo !!!!

everytime I speak about this issue with local people (talking about wesk / central africa ) ..they dont seem as concerned as us about getting malaria .

why ?

apparently there is a malara treatment , cheap , effective , and fast. Its something called "artesunate hydrocloride" or something like this. People swear that It works , and no side effects (well , definitely much less side effects than lariam)


I though It was another homeopat-herbal-magnetic-cristal quackery ..but surpringly , in EU , I talked to a specialist in tropical medicine and He said that It works. Not only that , but that ITs on the way to be distributed in the west really soon. As a new drug , ITs undergoing all these red-tape double blind safety trials , etc.. etc.. but in Africa is readily available now .

Its manufactured by Bayer , and ITs avaliable everywhere in West Africa for a few euros .Its 6 pills , you take 2, next day 1 , etc,, and so on.and all the times will cure or make your symthoms much better (enabling you to keep on driving ) .

I stocked up quite a few boxes of that for future trips.

UK/Spanish expats in Gambia , dont take any malaria protection at all , and rely simply on using this cure when the first simpthoms arrive. They say Its 100% effective ,etc..


anyone´got experiences with this ?
