Malaria Pills for Portrait of India tour??

PFahey

Curious if most people took anti-malaria pills for the Portrait of India tour? We leave in a few days and I hate to take the pills if not necessary, although CDC does recommend it. We do have them but thought I'd check with others who have been on the trip.
Thanks!

I don't think anyone on our tour of India took Malaria pills. We didn't.

Never took any pills for India.

I took malaria pills for this trip, as did probably half the people on our tour which ended about 2 weeks ago. But what do I know? I'm only a physician who followed the CDC recommendation.

Just about everyone got bitten by mosquitos, despite repellent especially in the south and especially in the open-air bathroom and meal venues at Kumarakom.

P.S. Please don't post the same question in multiple threads.

P.P.S. My response should not be considered medical advice, as I don't have a license to practice internet medicine.

No malaria pills when I went.

I did not take malaria pills for either of my India tours. I do not recall an issue with mosquitos (even in Kerala)

No we did not. In Kerla you will just want to use more repellent which the hotel actually supplies. Also in Varanasi. With that said we didn’t see any mosquitos. That was just guidance from TD.

Please don’t forget, you don’t usually notice malaria mosquitoes, they don’t hang out together, they are smaller and silent. Just takes one infected mosquito to pass on malaria. Always make your own decisions, don’t base it on how others wish to make their health choices. They can tell you what they did, but then you decide along with your health professional and guidance from the CDC.
