Hi,

For Sri Lanka malaria tables are only necessary for overnight stays in the Cultural Triangle, Yala %26amp; Uda Walawe National Parks.

We%26#39;re travelling to Sri Lanka next week and the nurse at our GP surgery also said that malaria tablets not needed for beach holiday - moquito bite protection all that is necessary. According to her, the far north of the island would carry most risk.

I dont take them pills, Ive seen what they can do. Get some repelent with deet from Boots chemist and use it when going dusk. Also get some mosquito spray or a plug in for your room, Keep windows closed at night spray room when laving to go out if you decide on the spray.

Hi there

I%26#39;ve been to the hotel a few times, and have always been advised by my gp%26#39;s practice nurse that malaria tablets are needed. After speaking with a number of other holiday makers while at the hotel, they%26#39;ve been advised the same, although some do not always take the advice
