I work as cabin crew and regularly visit high risk malarial areas. Our company deem it appropriate to issue us with high strength feet but no anti malarial tablets.
I have been badly bitten for the first time on last weeks visit to Ghana.
In the past couple of days I've developed flu like symptoms but so far no fever, spoke to my GP who recommended paracetamol and said unlikely to be serious, I am not reassured!
Main problem I have, is that if I take a sickness absence I am liable to disciplinary as I've already had 5 days sick last year due to eat infection.
Should I wait and hopefully can fly as planned on Saturday or seek further advice?
