OK, but I got it on request from my doctor in 1986 before I traveled to Ecuador. I am a normal healthy person, so YMMV, but I think that can be said for everything and everyone. Maybe you can explain that?
Also IIRC in a prior discussion it was claimed that every US soldier who went to the jungle in the Vietnam War was given (ordered to take?) HCQ. Maybe you can explain that?
As someone else said, it is possible to overdose on H2O. Does that make H2O a poison? I suppose it depends on the definition of the word ‘poison.’ Whatever.
Soldiers with G6PD Def have to be given a different antimalarial.
