You are the winner. This was used as a standard treatment for malaria ( cost and effectiveness) until WWII when those treated in the PTO complained about those very side effects. It is making a come back as a treatment however because it is so very effective.

This was mid-1980s. Israeli equivalent of peace corp do-goodery in the hinderlands.

They used it with quinine and probably 3 other things; I known one was some sort of sulfa, as I could also smell sulfer when I sweated.

Of course, they weren’t sure what I had and basically just poisoned me just shy of dying to make sure they killed whatever slithered inside me.

Equatorial medicine at its best.
