Malaria kit
Have to admit not sure what they do in Gambia. My experience was from training in a lab in Central Africa for a few weeks as part of the course.
Theres no harm in doing it, i just wanted people to be aware that it may not be accurate as i would never wish Falcipurum malaria on anyone.
It would be worth carrying a couple if their single use and do a couple of tests 8-12 hours apart as the parasite moves between the liver and blood so depending on where it is, gives a different result (this applys to other methods as well)
Its up to the individual to use sense.
(Don't think I'll risk it though!)
