For an introduction into what this is about see this link.
Today was pretty much like the last two Mondays. A brief set of medical question about my week, basic vitals, a blood draw and the medications. I've been eating a lot of yogurt to prep my stomach for the LARGE dose of antibiotics they give me but it doesn't seemed to have worked...still got a great deal of nausea for most of the day.
This upcoming Thursday I will be "challenged" which means they'll have 5 malaria infested mosquitos bite me. They explained how that would go today and I signed up for a slot at 6:15 in the morning. The researchers said that's the best time for the mosquitoes to feed. Apparently they get shy. I also got some info on the hotel I'll have to stay in for up to two weeks, starting on the Thursday following next Monday's drug day. They said we get a free breakfast each morning and there's a kitchenette...so that's a perk. They also will be doing a blood draw each morning. Lots of blood draws.
That's all for now. Excited to see how Thursday goes!
