"What kind of Malaria pills are you taking? Do you have to take them every day? Do they give you nightmares? Do they upset your stomach? Do I have to take them?"
Welcome to India. These are the first questions of every traveler as they get off the airplane. Malaria pills are a big topic. We were all quite envious of Nahum. He only took one every Monday. I guess men have stronger immune systems. We ladies have to take one a day and the pills do make you sleep poorly and, if not taken at the right time, can upset your stomach. Do I have the answer to the last question? No. If I were a doctor, I would be writing a blog complaining about Medicare.
When I got here, this bottle was filled to the brim. At two dollars a pill, that is an expensive brim. We are down to the bottom of the container. I have to take the pills seven days after take off from Bangalore International. I must be going home soon.
