Malaria? info again please
I've browsed through a couple of dozen threads on Malaria, but there is so much conflicting information its hard to know what to do here.
I will be travelling throughout Africa for the next 10 months, down the West, up the East. I don't want to take pills every day for 10 months. What have other people done in this situation? I'd prefer to just have a test kit and some treatment pills on me if I'm not close to a hospital/medical centre. I read in some ride reports of people who had Malaria without realising and went from perfectly normal to barely being able to stand in a matter of an hour or two - hence wanting treatment pills if in a remote area. I am unfortunately still in Spain, and I have time to buy something before I leave.
Anyone on the road doing something similar?
