My wife (jodi-beth) asked me to post this question. We will be traveling for her work with Habitat for Humanity Intl. to Manila (4 days) and the island of Bohol in the Philippines (1 day), Negomobo, Sri Lanka (10 days), and Bangkok (3 days). She is nursing our 18 month old and her doctor has recommended that all of us take lariam based on CDC guidelines. While we are hoping to obtain information about the specific risk of malaria in these places from other sources, we are hoping members of this list can give some opinions on giving lariam to toddlers and/or nursing while taking lariam. We have both worked for many years in Bolivia and are aware that most international workers in the Bolivian tropics did not take lariam because of its reputation for side-effects.
