Having incurred malaria in the old Belgian Congo and thoroughly ruining my kidneys as a result - still manufacture lots of kidney stones - I'm here to tell all you good people WATCH OUT !!
In Kinshasa, the mosquitos were the size of small airplanes - saw 4 of them taking away a small baby! Sleep in full clothing, wear lots of deet and never open your windows for the cool breezes!
If you don't, you will not enjoy the always returning 21 day sweats and then freezes - believe me! Those damn microbes live in your system forever, which is the reason I can't contribute blood ever again. There is nothing nice about malaria - forget the fact that cerebral malaria will kill you in three days and that there is nothing medically they can do about it.

So, if you don't mind, you can keep Africa and anywhere else you can get malaria. I know it's almost impossible to believe, but the Saint and I will not be joining you. Once was way more than enough!!
