Considering South Africa's neighbors, malaria is also considered to be a threat to travelers visiting the lower lying areas of Swaziland, while it is encountered throughout Mozambique and Zimbabwe, and much of Botswana. Prevention of malaria relies upon adopting personal protection measures designed to reduce the chances of attracting a mosquito bite, and the use of appropriate anti-malarial medication. If at all possible avoid being outdoors at night, when malaria carrying mosquitoes are more likely to bite. The exact choice of which to use depends both upon the particular area being visited, and the traveler's own medical history. The adult dosage is two chloroquine tablets per week, starting one week before entering the malarious area. Both chloroquine and proguanil should be taken for four weeks after departing the malarious area, and both are best taken at night after a meal. No method of malaria prevention is one hundred per cent effective, and there is still a small chance of contracting malaria despite the taking of anti-malaria medication and the adoption of personal protection methods. This does not mean that anti-malaria medication and personal protection measures should be neglected, simply that any traveler developing possible symptoms of malaria should seek medical advice despite having taken the prescribed precautions. This is potentially the most dangerous species of malaria, and can prove rapidly fatal. Symptoms may develop as soon as seven days after arrival in a malarious area, or as long as three months after leaving a malarious area. Deterioration can then be sudden and dramatic, with a rapid increase in the number of parasites in the victim's blood stream. Cerebral malaria is extremely serious, with the victim becoming delirious and entering a coma. Cerebral malaria is frequently fatal, and it is extremely important that all suspected cases of malaria should receive medical attention as soon as is possible. All persons possibly exposed to malaria who develop any influenza like illness or fever within seven days of entering, or three months of departing a malarious area should seek medical attention, and have blood tests taken to check for possible malaria infection. Malaria is a potentially fatal disease caught from biting mosquitoes. Prevention relies on measures to reduce bites, and taking anti-malaria medication appropriate both for the destination and the traveler. Any traveler developing influenza like symptoms or fever within three months of return from a malarious area should be tested for malaria, even if taking preventive measures.
