Lombok, Malaria ? 3 days to go

Posted by Gayle on Tuesday, 20. April 1999 at 05:43 Bali Time:

I have lots of Deet, tea tree oil, lavendaer oil etc. and would like to go to Lombok when I get to Bali with a girlfriend. She has heard that it is a high risk malaria area and doesn't want to go without taking the dreaded tablets.... I don't want to take the tablets. I have got homeopathic remedies for all (?) eventualities anyway.
What are the risks, realistically if one is sensible, uses a mossie net etc. ?
Quick answer appreciated, as only 3 days to go !!
Thanks.
