I was just teasing. I don’t know whether it would work or not.
Ah, humor doesn’t translate into print very well. I also take Scripture very seriously.
But, while I don’t know if the tea has worked, we do drink it in the US to prevent our redeveloping malaria. Many docs want to hospitalize malaria patients and do all sorts of unnecessary things to them. We just take our medicine and go on about our business.
I DO KNOW that artemisin pills work against malaria. It is just tough to keep a supply on hand or acquire more when in the states. Hence, we make the tea prophylactically. The hubs and I were required to be vaccinated against the hoax before returning to our work overseas. Immediately after the vax, we drank the tea for about 3 days. Hope it helped.
But, yes, it is VERY bitter. Yech!
