How long does malaria stay with you. I have heard if you treat it quickly you are fine but others say it stays with you for life. So is it just certain types of malaria that stay with you or is it do to lack of treatment or what?
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

unless you were recently out of the country or you were never vaccinated as a kiddo, i think your chances on catching malaria are very slim.
malaria has not been an epidemic in so long in the usa, that most of us know very little about it.
from what i can recall about learning about it,it's a tropical diease and i think mosquitoes spread it and you get a high fever and chills that you can die from. once you catch it, i believe you either die or continue to have it long term which may build up immunity for it.
but i haven't been taught anything about malaria since i was in grade school so i may have the info wrong.
you should google it if you are doing research on it, and you should speak to a doctor if you think you have it.

Pennkitten, I don't believe there is a vaccine for it.
But unless you travel where malaria happens then there is not a lot to worry about.
If you do be sure to see a doctor and get some malaria pills (usually doxy) and take them every day.

I was in Africa for a few months and I never used a mosquito net or took malaria pills and didnt catch it. Someone chastized me the other night for that but while I was there a bunch of people got malaria and took the medicine and they were ok, just like having a nasty cold. Im just wondering if there is long term affect of malaria if treated, I will be returning to Africa whenever I get the chance.
You can ask your GP for prophalytic malarial drugs before you go back. And you should use malaria nets and mosquito spray if you know you're going to be in an area where there is a high incidence of malaria. Your contact at the place can probably tell you if you are going to be in one of those high risk areas.
As far as I know, there are no long term effects if you catch malaria once. Most antimalarial drugs can treat it very effectively and complete recovery is guaranteed.
If you don't want to take those prophalytic drugs (they can be expensive) then just use basic safety precautions like moquito nets, sprays, etc. Rather be safe than sorry, eh?

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

One guy I knew got it while we where in Africa and there weren't even any mosquitoes around.
The is no way I'd travel in Africa without malaria pills.

I was taking lots of vit C and fish oil, maybe that had something to do with it....
I am honestly a little medicine phobic, I dont know what kind of effects taking anti malaria meds for ninety days straight would have, but mosquito nets arent harmful so I should probably do that next time I go back.
From what I saw on webmd there are four types of malaria and none of them are lifelong if treated.
Maybe the reason there were no mosquitos around is because they all died of malaria hehe.

Re:What is the best medicine to take to prevent malaria?
First I would make sure that you actually need antimalarial medication.
I traveled to Guatemala and I met several Americans who were on prophylaxis but since I had done my research and checked with the U.S. State Department recommendations, I knew that I would not need it.
There are many different kinds of medications, especially since now there are resistant strains in certain areas. I would call your local health department and ask to speak to a nurse. He/she will be very knowledgable about all of the options and the side effects. Also, even if you know people affected my Malarone, it does not mean that you will be affected. Hope this is helpful.
