3. If you are traveling, take preventative medications
Lariam® and Malarone® are prescription drugs that can be used as prophylaxis. General a travelled will take the one of these drugs before, during, and after visiting to endemic areas.
4. Use insect repellent with a DEET concentration of 35%-50%
DEET was originally developed by the U.S. Army after World War II for wartime usage. DEET can be purchased for $5-$15 from most outdoor stores and online at websites such as REI.COM. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency found that DEET does not present a significant health risk to consumers when used properly.When using DEET, the EPA advises the following:
1. Read and follow all directions and precautions on this product label. 2. Do not apply over cuts, wounds, or irritated skin. 3. Do not apply to hands or near eyes and mouth of young children. 4.
