Malaria

I have been told "Malaria is crazy in Thailand now." That famous actors and many others have contracted the disease. It is hard not to be bitten. The mosquitoes are small fast and slippery here in Asia not like in Canada where they are big slow and easy to kill. Recently l have been bitten in places-times I did not expect. In a hot restaurant mid day, walking in the sunshine and in my hotel room with the a/c blaring.

Malaria is painfull and a killer and stays in your body forever (I believe), it not something I want to get. I bought some anti mosquito lotion but am not sure how effective it is used in conjunction with sunscreen. Putting all that cream everyday on your face arms etc. is nasty and it burns the skin.
