Let Talk Prophylaxis

Yes prophylaxis, anti-malarial prophylaxis. I am currently taking two kinds. The once a week kind and the everyday kind. I have the everyday kind because they did not provide the once a week kind in time to establish it in my system. The purpose of these delightful prophylaxis is to prevent getting Malaria. That in itself is a very noble endeavor but as with all things no good deed goes unpunished. Both forms of prophylaxis have their own special side-effects that seem almost as unpleasant as the disease they prevent with the exception of possible death of course. The daily kind make you incredibly sick at your stomach. So sick in fact, that you wish you could throw up but you can't for some reason. The second kind, the once a week kind, does not make you fill like you have a belly full of angry maggots but it has its own unique price. Vivid dreams are the price you pay for not getting malaria. At first, I scoffed at that..."Vivid dreams yeah bring em on" Well, I had one last night. I was back in high school sitting in a classroom that we were painting bright light blue (I can confirm we dream in color) There was a teacher yelling at us to hurry up and finish painting. Then the school bought our brand new leaf blowers from us. They were orange and black leaf blowers. In order to raise money for the school they were going to auction the leaf blowers that they just paid us for back to us for the highest bid. I was thinking that that was stupid and there is no way I am buying my blower back. . . And my roomie whacks me on the feet and tells me my alarm has been going off for a while.

My opinion...I would rather have the vivid dreams (especially of my bride in various states of undress) than those damn maggots howling in my gut.
