    No, it's because the drugs are tailored to work against the specific bugs you get in those countries and you have to be there to get them.

    Again, it's not my project and I'm not a pharmaceuticals person, but the guy who told me about it is and he's signed up. If I could go I'd trust his judgement, but I totally understand that people have concerns :)

    I saw this advertised on Facebook and went through the link, I'd definitely go, but it looked as though I had to pay for the trip to India
    There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.

    i have applied. I could definately do with a reimbursed trip this year. OH said he doesnt want to go abroad this year ( we had a lot of hols last year). I need to go away every year! I have no concerns over the trial to be honest.

    I have applied - lets see how I go!

    During my travels in Egypt I've experienced Pharoah's revenge, the Nile's nasties, the luxor Lope, The Cairo quickstep, the Aswan *sswipe..........like I said, talent :rolleyes:

    Never had as bad guts as when we went to Mexico. It started in Patzcuaro and carried on for about 7 days after that. I've never spent so much time on the toilet.

    If you go on this - fingers crossed that you don't get the placebo!

    In Mexico it's called Montezuma's revenge - to get the Europeans back for invading and killing the Aztecs off.

    Boy - do they know how to dish out revenge over there!
