Ditto, Don and Lucky. I was a child victim of malaria at 7 yrs. old in the
'30,s when it was endemic here. Fortunately, I have had only one recurrence
in 'Nam in '65.
There are three basic types and the worst is probably responsible for most
deaths. A National Medical Board test question I took in the '60,s asked
what world-wide disease caused the most fatalities and the answer was
malaria.
I believe that airlines are still required to spray DDT in passenger
compartments before landings in the USA when coming from overseas;
surreptitiously, of course.
