Lesson 1

Apparently you're supposed to take the malaria medication with food. I didn't know that and have been feeling awesomely nauseous for the last half hour. I'm still at home too...

  4. i had to take malaria medication too, back when i went to kenya, and it got me slightly queasy everytime i took it, but not to the point of nausea.

    i dunno which medication you took, but the doctor told me to take the medication a week before going into and a week after coming out of the afflicted country. i sincerely hope you won't have to do the same.
