  1. how do you keep from getting malaria? are you in danger if contracting malaria in that country?

     

    Don`t get bitten by the mosquitos. Use plenty of insect repellent.

     

    If you are truly worried about it, you can get a prescription for an anti-malarial drug. You take it once a week for 2 weeks prior to, each week during, and for 4 weeks after your trip. Even this won't guarantee that you don't get malaria if you're bitten by a malaria infected mosquito, but it will decrase your risk.

     

    Personally, I rely on lots of bug spray, as the drug makes me violently ill.
