Alaxin (Dihydroartemisinin) Tablets
I caught Malaria the last time I was in Ghana. I didn't know I was bitten by mosquitos and it snuck up on me. I just started to become tired and my bones ached. I didn't realized I was sick until I bedridden with severe fever etc... After my usual travel companions did't work: Doxycclimne, Flagyl, Zithromax; I was taken to the hospital and stayed overnight with an IV for dehydration. The next morning, I was dignosed with Malaria with a 15 min finger prick blood test and was given Alaxin tablets. I was cured by the end of the day. Malaria is so common in Africa that pharmacies sell many medications that will prevent and cure malaria without prescription. Foreigners may feel sick from most of them. I recommend that you go to a pharmacy and get a box of Alaxin Tablets and take them while you're in Africa as a preventive measure.

White Meat ala Carte in Accra
For those who love internation cuisine in Accra...this lady was suitably punished by me for keeping me waiting for 30 minutes with a CIM and swallow!
