[Druspills]

Just thought I'd leave a little info here about an anti-malarial, not that it's much of a problem in Thailand but it is useful for preventing bites also.
Neem is a plant I think is indigenous to India though italso grows in Africa and there are a number of products that can be bought. The ones I have had are the capsules and the skin butter and the shampoo. The butter is great for preventing bites, mozzies can't stand it, and it does not smell like citronella or disolve you like DEET, the shampoo is good for hair obviously but it is also useful for recoating an old mosquito net, dilute it with water and soak the net and hey presto it works!! The caps I took instead of doxycyline in India as a prophylactic for malaria. I'm not medically condoning it but the guy I get it from is a friend from the town I live in the UK and he swears by it and travels all over sub-saharan Africa with nothing else.
Anyway it might be worth looking into, there are a few producers but the one my friend runs is on www.earthworkstrading.co.uk. for more info I suggest looking at this
