I'm lucky enough to be off to Costa Rica on Saturday. Over the weekend the guide book got me scared enough to decide to buy some anti-malarial tablets.
As the first does needs to be taken a week before departure I popped them straight away. I've heard a few horror stories about the side effects of anti-malarials. One of the side effects of the brand I have bought include blindness (!). I'm currently suffering from extreme paranoia and every time I blink I think there is something wrong with my eyesight.
Silly I know.......
For friends, musings, restaurant reviews and travel news.
I see you didn't take my advice! Which ones did you get, out of interest?
ReplyDeleteIt's called Chloroquine. I get the impression that it is one of the weaker anti-malarials. I am worrying far too much......
ReplyDeleteI think you are! But I think I already told you that.....
ReplyDeletebloody malaria tablets, I feel your pain. the only drugs with a list of side-effects printed on A3 paper...crazy. got bored of taking mine eventually. always wondered where my third nipple came from. damn lousy mozzies!
ReplyDeleteHey again Richard! Have fun on your trip, I'm mighty jealous! I think it was chloroquine I took when I was in central America. It wasn't too bad....just some very very vivid dreams!!
