In the Independent on Thursday 16th April the headline was that the Army was being injected with the MOD's anti-malarial drug. Jonathan Owen reports that it is having adverse effects, very similar to the sheep dip. The suicidal tendencies are the same as those dipping sheep experience.
Major General Alistair Duncan is now in a secure psychiatric unit. This Major General was given Lariam, 17,000 suffers from having been given this drug and have shown symptoms of depression. Unfortunately this drug was cheaper than those previously given, but the effects are very concerning. Defense ministries in Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark and Canada have banned Larium or use it as a last resort. I think together, with the organophosphates, this drug is a problem. Shouldn't both be banned by the UK?
