I'm visiting malarial Swaziland and am spending the night in an open-sided tent. I'm taking anti-malarial pills, using lotions and covering up with treated clothing. Can anyone advise whether it is necessary to take a mosquito net impregnated with permethrin or can I manage with an untreated one provided?

Thanks
Jill

Don't stress about malaria in Swaziland, its almost non-existent apart from the extreme eastern fringes in summer only and then only around crowded centres

If you are in a tent I would guess you are in a game reserve, so even less stress as less people means less malaria.
