Gents,

I took Doxycycline while I was downrange the second time and don't remember any ill effects. I took one everyday. You just have to remember to take it. Doxy can make your skin sensitive to sunlight. One of our guys didnt take his at all and came down with Malaria. He got very ill and had to medevaced to BAF from the field.

The first time over I took the Larium on Malaria Monday. I experienced some wacko dreams...one of the side effects.

IMHO...take the Doxy if you can. When you get home take the Primaquine and don't booze it up.

Jus my .02
