High & Dry is safer than Low & Wet...
North would be safer than South...
Some of these Anti-Malarial drugs can cause Psychotic Episodes or Depression which I don't need...
Malaria Mosquito is active in Early Evening & Mornings...Dengue is a DayTime Mosquito often found around houses...I've been bitten many times in the Tropics with no ill effects...Not All Mosquito bites are Dangerous...and cause for panic..
So stay covered all the time...No shorts...A Scarf may keep back of neck covered ...
And use a spray...AirConditioned rooms are safer than Fan Only Rooms...Check the screens for holes...Mosquito coils at night may help...and a Bed Mosquito net could be used in some places...perhaps take one along...A Sarong makes a good light cover at night in hot weather...
