Chuck--you must be a doctor--my doctor tested me for every parasite possible--nothing. Maybe he should have just read the prescribing information:

"All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome when using Malarone:

Diarrhea; difficulty sleeping; dizziness; headache; loss of appetite; nausea; stomach pain; vomiting; weakness."

Here in the Chicago area you cannot get yellow fever shots from most regular doctors and have to go to a specialized travel clinic.(Last year there was a massive shortage of the single shots so one had to wait for "4 dear friends" to join you within 2-3 hours to share the vial.)Other shots like Japanese Encephelitis,Rabies,etc. would need to be ordered ahead or gotten at a travel clinic.
If you are leaving within 3 weeks I hope that you have started on them?Have a great trip!
