I've heard mixed answers about whether I should take Malaria pills if I'll be in Dharamsala. I'll be there for ten weeks, and It'd be really expensive to get enough for that long considering I've already paid hefty sums for other medications and vaccinations. I did, however, pay for about two weekends worth if i decide to travel on weekends and such. I'm sleeping indoors and I'll wear bug spray with deet and clothing with sleeves, so do you think I should still get more pills?

I've already talked to a travel clinic doctor, but it was close. I'm just wondering if there are people who live there or who have stayed there for a while if it is necessary.

I hope that someone can answer about Dharamsala. I'd look at it that malaria can last a life time and recur whenever you're run down. Your health is worth a lot, isn't it?

Consult with your doctor prior to making any arrangements. If you doctor will tell you the necessary precautions.
