After much deliberation, I succumbed to advice from the NHO, CDC and other such international health conglomerates to take preventative measures against malaria. Malaria meds have long gotten poor reviews from travelers, but I am optimistic that I will disprove them all. I, after all, never get sick or suffer the side effects listed on the patient information sheets we all get with prescriptions. So there's no reason not to take every precaution before traveling to Central America, right?
7PM Monday - ingest large, round, hot pink pill that will protect me from infectious disease caused by protozoan parasites.
11:30PM Monday - awake due to vivid nightmares and the feeling that something is crawling under my skin
6AM - 10PM Tuesday - forceful expulsion of stomach contents
4AM Wednesday to present - constant jitters, headache, skin crawling
And to think, I get to do this all over again next Monday...and the Monday after that...and the Monday after that... Can't wait.
