It is bad stuff

Hunters in Africa are now mostly not taking any prophylactic malaria drugs. Larium is dangerous and the others almost useless. I, and most of my pals would rather wait until we feel unwell, then take a course of Coartem, which cures malaria pretty effectively, and with no side effects. I have just returned yesterday from the Limpopo River , a malaria area and will see if I get cold or flu like symptoms in a week. If so, Coartem at about $10 a dose should do the trick. No problem if you dont actually have Malaria, apart from wasting the $10.
