Thanks for making us aware Keith and Alan.

At the end of the day we are all grown ups and have to take responsibility for our own actions. I've been to India 5 times and always taken anti malarials, I didn't on my first 4 visits to the Pina's, but I have on my last 2 visits, and will probably continue to take them on future visits.

I appreciate the risk is very low in cities, but as I'm a nature lover and like to get out in the wilds I've decided that I don't want to take the chance. People talk about the side effects and exaggerate them, but have they actually taken the tablets? The worst I've ever suffered from are fairly vivid dreams when I'm day dreaming or half asleep. I can live with that if it means protecting myself against malaria.

However, I also agree that Dengue is a bigger threat than Malaria. Is there any preventative medication for Dengue?
