One thing I can add to aid in value to taking Anti Malaria Pills, is to take them religously. The Doc I worked with in Northern Afghanistan told me that up there (north) the Malaria can kill you. The Malaria south of say J-Bad only gives you fever. I was in both places with 1.5 years and I did not take the pills while down in Southern Paktika, but I took them all while in the north. 2/508th (05-06) had two soldiers with Malaria and were fine. 1/503rd (07-08) had one and he almost died.
Hope this helps,
Tommy
