It's treatable... Justin Wren (the MMA fighter who builds wells in the Congo for pygmy people) says he has gotten it like 2 or 3 times

He talks about the experience of getting malaria here

Treatable but not a very pleasant experience to say the least lol

If you don't take the pills I suppose you could drink lots of Tonic Water. That's what it was created for (though I doubt the modern version has as much as it used to). I can't drink quinine or eat anything with much in it (grapefruits). It is EXTREMELY bitter to my palate for some reason. Like vomit inducingly bitter. And I like other bitter things
