Simple to some people also means withholding vaccinations from their children so that the kiddies don't get autism; it's "simple" to them. So lots of people have lots choices to make to "simplify" things.

I'm going to spend my time taking sensible precautions when I'm in a malaria zone. That includes mosquito repellant, slacks and long-sleeved shirts at dawn and dusk, and malarial prophylaxis. Oh, and by the way, doing this doesn't really complicate my life or make it less simple. It's as simple as looking both ways to cross the street. I've never had malaria, and I profoundly pity those who have (including several of my friends, all of whom still grapple with the effects of it, including 1 who got it over 30 years ago.

Malarone has worked well for me over the years, with few side effects.
