Sometimes people post like they have it.

Your doc is dead wrong. Firstly there is no such thing as immunity to malaria. People who have a recurring form of the disease may become less symptomatic over the course of the years but not immune, they carry the diseaseDid you seriously just ask that question. PMSL.
Can you see a similarity in the discussguy ion over players who have suffered it?.
Drogba.
Zakora.
Adebayor.
They are all African. Hence in the off season, are all much more likely to spend their times in area's where malaria exists.
Apparently - (according to my doc) people from malaria zones are much less likely to take anti malaria tablets when they return for visits as it doesn't occur to them that they will have lost what immunity to the disease they had.(you lose it after just 6 months outside the zone).
They are also much more likely to travel at short notice thus not having time for any malaria pills they might take - to actually start working.
I'm sure it's not just out club. It probably happens to a lot of players... either that, or our club need to up their game on educating the players. The pills can also be quite nasty and you have to take them from a long time so even the educated may choose to take a risk.
Get well soon Ade.
Opportunity for Soldado to impress.

It's quite ironic how often my humour falls on deaf ears and yet I'm now being accused of not understanding it.

Secondly people who live in malaria areas do indeed often not take the prophylactics nor the treatment but it's not because they think they're immune (well. Maybe some uneducated people & morons do) it's because the side effects can be worse than the disease, particularly if taken over long periods of time.
Lastly both the treatment & the profelactics often do little more than mask the symptoms making it more difficult to diagnose & treat
So people who are prone to it, live in a malaria area or have the recurring version more often than not don't medicate fir all those reasons
Mmm. Dengue fever. There's an invasive species of mosquito which is becoming common around where I live now (southern France) which have started spreading dengue fever :-(Hmm, yeah I didn't mean total imunity, but an element of it? Maybe I mean resistance? Body more used to the disease so easier to fight it off?
Only experience of this was with my wife, when the doctor sold her she would be much more prone to getting sick from malaria returning to Indonesia, than she would have been when she lived there. But maybe the doc was just trying to persuade here that she really should take anti malaria tablets.
I know they are horrible, I would rather not take them myself as I don't tend to get bitten. Except that one time.. in the gili islands off Lombok when I contracted dengue fever. My gosh awful awful illness.
I thought he was now on £70K P/w.Ah but Ade will have 120k per week to comfort him.
That's the biggest load of ignorant drivel I have read since Suarez's excuse for biting Chielini. Firstly, people who live there do often develop some immunity and secondly, if one lives away this is lost. As regards the statement that treatment only masks the disease, did you honestly mean to write that? It's complete nonsense: although there is increasing resistance to some drugs, malaria is very treatable and the prophylactics work if you use the correct ones for the areas visited. It is still important to have nets and repellents to avoid being bitten in the first place. Your statement makes me wonder whether you're an enthusiast for alternative medicine.Your doc is dead wrong. Firstly there is no such thing as immunity to malaria.

Damn auto correct. Sold = toldWhere did you buy your wife? Do you get a commission if I buy 1?
