Fellow travellers have told me that I don need to use antimalarials, I wonder if I should bother?
While fellow travellers are a great source of information for where to go, what to see and how to get about in different countries, they are probably not completely up to speed about travel health. It is strongly recommended that you seek expert pre-travel health advice at least eight weeks before you travel to ensure that you are protecting yourself against malaria and other infectious diseases.
