Just so you all know.... there is no route from the Amazon to Guyana... this guy may be a hoaxer or missing some players on the pitch.

Have they closed the road from Boa Vista then? If I were going overland to Guyana, I'd take the river to Manaus and pick up the road again from there. Plenty of mozzies to be found if you go that way.

OH yea yea!.....the preventitave of malaria is quinine!!!!!!(I have lived in India twice once for 3 years) there are 2 forms...Tablets, the other is tonic water....hence the favorite drink of the British stationed in India was """""GIN AND TONIC!"""" start 2 weeks before you arrive in the tropics and continue 2 months after your return...just remember you will not be able to donate blood for one year after you stop taking the tonic....After that DONATE!. You can buy tonic water..carbonated..in any supermarket or chinos....I am sure you can buy the tablets in most pharmacies, tho they are a bit large and do not taste pleasant...I suggest following with some anchovies and a bite of lemon......OH SHIT! just do the gin and tonic!!!!!!

I'm not sure that supermarket tonic water has medicinal amounts of quinine in it. You'd probably need to drink a lot of tonic water everyday.

One of the Two Fat Ladies of UK television fame (If you know who I'm talking about, you'll work out which one as the story unfolds) was talking in an interview about a visit to the doctor for the results of a blood test. "Did you enjoy your overseas trip" enquired the doctor. "But I haven't been overseas," came the reply. "Oh," said the Doctor. "There's so much quinine in your blood that I assumed you were taking anti-malarials." "That's not anti-malarials - that's the tonic I add to my gin." "Don't be silly: you'd have to be getting through at least two bottles of gin each day to achieve quinine levels like that."

And that, she said, was when she realised that she had a drinking problem.

I just found a huge batch of malaria tablets I got in 2010 and never used. Was about to throw them away if you want them!

If youre not going to throw them away i would be more than happy to take them off your hands
