This seems good'Recently, a new type of antimalarial drug has also been available which is very effective since no mosquito populations have already generated resistance due to exposure. The new drug is called Atovaquone. Also, the drug has no side-effects' ( = Malarone)

Regrettably I can't read the cited article without a journal subscriptionbut I suspect it means people started falling over a lot, and couldn't speak properly or pick things up.

Irritating, the ability of meaningless illness-related pain to persist forever.You might think that eventually you could learn to ignore it, like start thinking "this is just an erroneous nerve signal I've been getting for years now and I'm no longer going to let it bother me," but no.
