I agree -Doctors in the States tend to go overboard -they do not know much about malaria. They wanted to throw me in hospital once when I knew I only had to have the series of Artenam B tablets. I've had it and bad 13-15 times from memory but in Africa. I now live in Honduras and there is no need for preventative medicines, Just take precautions - cover up especially around dusk and most mossies are low to the ground so socks etc. Put on anti mossie stuff. If you do get malaria I found that where you get is the best place to be treated. If you are only visiting for a short time take the prophylactics.
