Chloroquine and Proguanil

South America 2005

As a measure against malaria, I am taking the above drugs. And yes, they’ve really started to kick in: I am feeling sick (which must mean they’re working). Perhaps this is one of the side effects.

Stupid malaria, we blatantly aren’t gonna go anywhere near anything remotely malarial, and I’m just risking the health of my liver (anti-malarials are known to be awful for livers) for nothing. Probably.

Well, you never know, I suppose, better safe than sorry and all that. Although, if I do suffer complete liver failure, I don’t know that I’m particularly safe…
