...until you get that shivery feeling and your pee turns black. Then it gets complicated fast. And complicated in certain (er, most?) parts of Africa also means worse things are to come.

I'm happy to go with the complicated small rusty coloured pill once a day, safe in the knowledge that I have substantially reduced the chances of allowing a nasty paracite to swim around inside me for long. My sleeping net doesn't compicate my life either (unless I lose my drawing pin!). And I rather like the smell of DEET, though granted the smell of citronella and barbecue smoke is rather better.
