My boy, who is working in Africa right now, has come down with malaria <img src="/ubbtreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> He's not feeling well...

Because of his G6PD, I'm not sure that tonic water is good for him...

I have to wait for an update- apparently people who are G6PD deficient (as Kev is) don't get malaria as badly as others. The malaria parasite can't survive without that enzyme and soon die off

Hopefully that will mean that he might not be sick as long as people with healthy blood. We'll see

The good thing about it is that this deficiency is common in African/Mediterranean/Middle Eastern countries, so the doctors will know what to prescribe him. Typical anti-malarial medications could kill him

I'm sure that most people over there end up with malaria sooner or later. His workmates recognized the symptoms right away. It's just that he wasn't feeling very well at all

Well, the weekend is over and Kevin says he is beginning to feel a bit better. The people he works with know a good American doctor who prescribed something for him

That makes ME feel better as well! <img src="/ubbtreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> PTL
