Sound Medical Advice

Travellers to the Mekong region are advised to have quantities of three to five kinds of inactivated viruses inserted into their bodies, and to ingest a synthetic analogue of a bitter toxin on a weekly basis. The toxin may cause nausea, vomitting, lung failure, depression, seizures and suicidal intent, but these are not reasons to stop its regular intake.*

* Actual potential risks associated with Lariam, though not so common as to be alarming.
