Malaria

Pilgrims,

Just a quick note. Many of you have inquired about recommendations concerning malaria medication, treatment, etc., and I wanted to address it to the group.

Legally, I can not make any recommendations about medication use. With this said, I would encourage each of you to follow Victor's advice and meet with a physician who focuses on travel/international medicine.... most, if not all, cities in the US will have resources in this area of focus. They will be able to answer any questions you have about vaccinations, malaria medication, etc. I am sorry for not being able to offer more advice in this area, but I need to be cautious in the arena of medicine. If you can not find the necessary resources, please be in touch and I will do my best to help you find them.

Also, the World Health Organization publishes an annual report on Malaria. You can download it with the following link:

It is extensive and a good place for statistical information.

Blessings,

Justin
