  MALARIA

Please be aware that this is a malaria area and that you are advised to protect yourself as much as possible against being bitten.  Long clothing at night and early morning is advised as these are the times you are most likely to be bitten.

It takes a minimum of 10 days for malaria symptoms to show themselves if you have not taken any prophylaxes.  If you have taken prophylaxes it can take up to 3 months for malaria symptoms to develop.

The symptoms vary from person to person.  Malaria also seems to attack your weakest points.  The most common symptoms are nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, extreme headache, cold symptoms such as runny nose, neck pain and joint pains.  Should you have any of these symptoms do not ignore them as untreated Malaria will kill you.

Should your symptoms develop while in Mozambique ask any local for direction to the nearest clinic, hospital or pharmacy.  Any of these can assist in testing and treatment.  The treatment in Mozambique is cheap but effective.
