Thanks Peter, The main reason I went with doxy. is the fact that my friend had nasty side affects with Larium and I didn't want to have those side effects on a deep dive. Now, it seems, there are other reasons why I made the right choice (without knowing it) - thanks. Incidently, isn't it true that doxy. is more effective against P. falciparum (the nasty one), and Larium is better for P. vivax? Or is it the other way around? Aloha, Rich P.S. - I'm glad we had the chance to meet the other day. > Rich, > Your anecdotal info is appreciated.
