I was simply passing on specialist advice given to me just two weeks ago.
Current advice is that Bali is OK, Lombok is not. I did recommend people use specialists in this; GP's are not.
Safe than sorry? Why take what are essentially wide spectrum antibiotics, with the attendant problems of reducing the power on contraception pills, increased chances on sunburn and possible depression/dizziness. As I visited Lombok, my informed decision was to do so.
Yes, Belinda, get specialist advice.
BTW, Sean, why did you call Belinda a guy - am I missing something??
