holiday safety

[nellie1988]

I am going on holiday to "Goa" and would like to know if Maleria is common there.

It seems to be 'low risk', see this map:

I was there a few years ago with some friends and we all took the malaria tablets but myself and one other found that we felt quite ill so stopped taking them and the sickness feeling went away, if as cheekychops says, it is low risk then unless you are really concerned I wouldn't bother, not that I am suggestion that they will make you feel unwell.

Have a great holiday whatever you decide to do, not sure where you are going to but if you get the chance travel about, there are some beautiful places, people and beaches awaiting you.

It was on the News this week that there have recently been cases of malaria in Goa I'd speak to your Dr.if I were you.
