In Reply to: Lombok, Malaria ? 3 days to go posted by Gayle on Tuesday, 20. April 1999 at 05:43 Bali Time:
You have 3 days to go, well.... You are too late to start taking pills anyway. My middle son has been to some high risk areas, some much more high risk areas than Lombok, and he was unwilling to take pills too..... So, I took a deep breath, and wondered what to do. Then I had an idea! What DO the airways personel do, when after they are flying into the high risk areas all the time, after all they can't go on taking the things all the time. Well, it seems they Do have a master plan, it goes around the symptoms; and if they get them, then they take something. I don't remember the name of this stuff, but I got it for my son. Thankfully he didn't need it, but surely any airline would be able to tell you what it is. Start at the Medical Centre at the Airport that you are flying out of, (bearing mind the shortage of time that you have.) Good luck!
