Vietnam And Malaria

Rate this topic

As a Vietnam vet I wonder with all the bites I got from the little blood suckers that I never got malaria. I mean I was on the edge of a vast rubber plantation and it was wet. I never took the pills they gave us and nobody was there to make sure we took them. I don't think anyone took the anti-malaria pills that I knew.

We crushed up the quinine pills and mixed them with Club soda to make our Gin and Tonics on the rare occasions when we could find ice. I managed to luck out on that too but I was much further north.
