Hi all,
Due to move very soon long term in Cameroon, I am a bit worried about malaria.
I have been to Cameroon several times on holidays and always had some sort of malaria tablets for the period I was in and it never been longer than 3 weeks.
Even while taking all the preventive measures like long sleeve at night, mosquitoes net, repellents, etc... we always end up with a lot of mosquitoes bites all over but never got sick; I guess the malaria tablets prevented it...
My worries are, I know it is not advisable/safe to take malaria tablets long term; so how do you prevent catching it?
As despite using preventive measures you might still get bitten; I know all mosquitoes are not carriers of malaria...
How do you guys already living in Cameroon long term deal with mosquitoes/malaria?
I am planning to bring with me some treatments of malaria tablets just in case.
I would really appreciate if many of you can share your experiences as I am sure many people planning to move long term have the same questions.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Laly
