        Malaria is most common in areas with unclean water and an abundance of mosquito breeding sites. It was really common in the American southeast because of climate, insects, and infected water.

        The predecessor to the CDC started a coordinated campaign to get rid of malaria in 1947 and the US was declared malaria free in 1951. Most of it involved modernizing water treatment plants, eliminating mosquitoes, repairing irrigation systems, handing out medications, etc

    Well, I had a Gin and Tonic this past weekend. Maybe that will help?

      I fucking love gin and tonics. If I can get sauced AND not get malaria, it's a win-win.

        My friend who has a fuck ton of Gins turned me onto using a Lemon for garnish. It is actually better than Lime imo. Combine that with Fever Tree Mediterranean, it is fucking amazing.
