You'll find the major health hazards detailed here: http://www.shakariconnection.c...can-hunt-health.html

As for anti-malarials, there are several options but I'd recommend Malarone as probably your best bet.

If you take Larium, I'd recommend you test fly it for a week or two beforehand.

If you take Doxycycline, I'd recommend you also take live acidophilis and watch out for the side effect of thrush..... Doxy is a useful protection against tick bite fever though.

In case anyone is wondering about what the yoghurt monster is.....

If you do get thrush (which can cause excruciating pain) and you have no live acidophilis and/or anti fungal cream available, the only pain relief and basic treatment that works is to put your old chap in a container of live yoghurt and keep it there for a considerable time and repeat treatment on a very regular basis!
