My travel clinic, unsurprisingly, recommended that I take preventative malaria medication while in India. However, after doing a good deal of research and consulting with last year's Fulbright ETA's, I have ultimately decided against it. For me, the possible side effects aren't worth it. Additionally, New Delhi is a relatively low-risk area; even though I won't be taking the prophylactics, I will take precautions like wearing long sleeves, bug spray, and using All Out (a mosquito-repelling plug-in) at home.
