Saluations.

I am JaiChai. Very nice to make your acquaintance.

Early in my military career, I and the rest of my team had to take anti-malaria prophylaxis - back then, the 1980's, it was chloroquin/primaquin - because we were doing extended ops in Africa.

I can't remember the actual length of time, but I know we were excluded from the blood donor pool for quite a while after ingesting the meds.

Here's a neat fact: The British penchant for tonic water began with their Navy using it to prevent malaria. Tonic water contains quinine.

Enjoyed your post immensely.

Upvoted and following you now.

Namaste
