We've had our first malaria casualty on the truck. Olya the russian has been diagnosed with the parasite. She was laid out for a few days while on the semi-cure tablets.
Malaria can be somewhat prevented so long as you take the anti-malaria propholaptics and protect yourself with mosquito repellent. Olya did none of these and now has malaria. 'Nuff said. Who will be next?
PS I've just run out of Deet.

Hi Mark,
We have been reading your brilliant blog and are pleased to hear that our son, Calum, is still alive - and hopefully taking his Malaria tablets!
Looking forward to the next thrilling installment - only wish we were there too, and looking forward to seeing Cal in Cape Town.
Happy New Year and safe travells to all aboard the yellow truck.
Sue & Simon Skinner
