Bring back D.D.T! Malaria is spread by mosquitoes. Of course the enviornmentalist had it banned.
Or they could just bring back DDT. That would help to control a host of insect carried diseases.
"Testing" in the Topics? Got a little carried away there, didn't you?
"But these agencies say artemisinin should be used only in a cocktail . . . "
Gin and tonic.
Also, I kind of expect if the WHO does try the "shame them" tactic the companies will simply end up with more orders because more people know who to order it from.
I love this drug. I've begun treatment immediately after gettting a positive test for malaria and within two hours all symptoms are gone. The drug has no discernable side-effects, unlike vision, hearing and balance problems which I get with chloroquin and quinnine. Hubby doesn't get such wonderful results and so choses to stick with chloroquin.
