hi,
I have been going to Bali for the last 30++ years and have sometimes taken malaria tablets, sometimes not.
These days I choose not to but ensure that I am not bitten by taking preventative measures such as mozzie coils and zappers, spraying the room before bed and wearing enough bushmans to float a ship....
if you have not been bitten by a mozzie it is impossible to catch Malaria.
if bitten you would also be at risk of Dengue fever which can also kill you.
I would suggest you aim not to be bitten and dont take the malaria tablets.
cheers,
Ann
