I have known people that decided to take the malaria treatment prior to travel. More often than not they got sick and couldn’t travel due to the medication. So, I would keep in mind that you are going to a country where millions of people live and there are great doctors that have current medical training. India has medicine and in the event you did contract Malaria (which I have never seen) we could get you to a medical doctor. However, the choice is yours. You can check the CDC for India so you can make an informed choice. We are taking our 3 year old this year so I am of course nervous that due to his age he will get sick, so I am taking precautions as well. We are even bringing a car seat!

I got an immunoglobulin before I left on my first trip in 2005 and I was current on all of my vaccinations. I would caution against eating ANY meat products or “lettuce” AKA salad in India. Eat only vegetables that are can be peeled or are heated and cooked. Use hand-sanitizer constantly. During my first year of travel there I think I actually washed my fruits with hand-sanitizer first, then rinsed with bottled water. Please contact Martena at Hunnyfly Studios or just call/text.
