• The following are not recommended for the prevention of malaria: herbal remedies, homoeopathy, electronic buzzers, vitamin B1, garlic, yeast spreads, tea tree oil and bath oils, and pyrimethamine and sulfadoxine (Fansidar®). • Other than DEET, insect repellents are not recommended. The exception is where there is a known allergy to DEET, in which case lemon eucalyptus, picaridin, or 3-ethylaminopropionate may be appropriate.
