As a faithful reader of your blog (is there a word for blog groupies?) this is the first I've heard of a trip to the turtle islands. Or are they tortoises? I've never been able to figure out the difference. Anyway, when, whence, and whyfore? And why aren't you taking malaria pills? I know they give you nightmares and all that, but certainly it seems a more reasonable approach than dodging mosquitos the whole time. I mean, I know you have a catlike agility and all that, but let's be reasonable! Bon voyage, - Nina Whoa there…did you skip a step?

My advice--avoid the malaria pills: they can be worse than malaria, no shit. And just be glad you don't need to get the shots for Japanese Encephalitis. Take a good insect repellant & sleep under a net. I’ve lived in SE Asia, so I know about all those chemicals. My advice–avoid the malaria pills: they can be worse than malaria, no shit.

Having the live attenuated typhoid organisms living in my fridge next to the milk was the strangest thing -- let alone ingesting them! I'd talk with a doctor with some experience in travel medicine about the anti-malarials. When I needed them, the ones I took were suppressants only; it was only after I got back that I learned of a new drug that also eradicates the malarial organisms from your system. I didn't have any trouble with the pills, fwiw. And I second the recommendation to bring a bit of Cipro with you. Heh — I did that sequence of self-infestation.

I had an inoculation against measles in my childhood and they hardly managed to rescue me after that. I would never agree to take all those chemicals.
