If you haven't done it already, you might want to try Dukoral, a drinkable vaccine that will decrease the risk of you having to use that rehydration solution...

Isn't diphtheria on the bum? Or at least one of them? Feels like a horse kicked yo ass afterwards.

Actually being born and raised in Africa, running barefoot, kissing free range dogs on their noises as a child, I've yet to be sick anywhere in the world, suspect stopmach is line with lead, my childhood misquitoe sucking my blood as a child, makes me immune to to day's light weight toxic ones.

But I can see a Scandinavian may be being exposed to all of this. However I am of the firm belief, your smoking and drinking hardens yourself over time to trivial mickey mouse mosquito bites. As scuch I fear Alex may succomb to all sorts of "delicate" ailments.

Haha, to funny, poor Alex.lol
Time to start drinkin Al.

Alex and Taru

In the book "The Missing Centimetre" by Leon Schulz, available thru Hallberg-Rassy, page 230.

There is an individual named Herb who provides highly accurate weather forecasts as you bob about the Atlantic.

He goes by Southbound II. Broadcasts at 1930 UTC. On 12.359khz and provides a three day forecast.

The service is free. All who listen in are very pleased with the routes he prescribes for them.

Mary: Haven't heard of Dukoral before, are they available in the pharmacy?

Anonymous: Alex lived many of his childhood years in Africa (Angola, Senegal, Ivory Coast) and has already received enough vaccine for the most common diseases, for the rest of his life. Although a back up can be good to inject, now 25 years later.

Thanks Jon, will check it out.

keep in mind that Gin/Tonic should be close at hand when in malaria regions :o)

Uuh, gin is not my cup of tea. Wine, rum, whiskey and some types of brandy makes it for me.

I don't know. Sorry, hope you can find it out.

I've never had a prescription but always got it directly from the vaccination clinics in Stockholm.
