My Halloween “treat?” Malaria pills
-
- October
- 31
My father said I could wear his old fatigues from Vietnam today. They actually fit, which I think says a lot about the Army rations back then…
Instead, I got into the Halloween spirit by unwrapping something that kind of looks like candy: Mefloquine, an anti-malarial drug. Prescribed by Briarcliff Manor’s own Dr. Gary Lehrman and picked up at Prescription Plus in the Chilmark shopping center. It’s a local story now!
Now, for the scary part – click below if you want to watch me take my first pill.

If the pill was purple, green, red or even yellow, it could have passed as a Spree candy! Mmmm!

What a meaningful project! It must signify a great deal to your father, now returning in peacetime and those veterans able to give back to the children in Vietnam. This is the kind of news we need to see more of!
Looking forward to hearing more from the road, malaria pills and all…”no pain no gain”:)
