Malaria Prevention
".Scariest drug reaction I have ever had.   Started with being awakened by difficulty breathing (middle of night).  took some antihistamines, and tried slow controlled breaths;  then used an inhaler.   Frequent urination (really frequent  with some leakage!).   

   By morning had sores in mouth from the swelling,  red tissues in mouth, swollen eyelids, lips and face.   Started a fever which went up to 103,  Then got big leopard spots all over (why not, in Africa?)

   a pharmacist in our group insisted this must be anything  but the Malarone because even he and his wife were taking it.!!!  Don&#039;t listen to people like that, almost continued to take it.  Horrible experience, quit it and did not get malaria which would have been preferable."
