no it's not. the only things you are 'supposed' to take are malaria pills, tetanis shot, and rabies shot. i've been there before and seen the dogs, so yeah i did get the rabies. tetanis, not a major worry. malaria? the pills make you sick, and if you get malaria, you just go to a doctor and get meds. i know many people traveling to these areas that bought into the hype, and were sick from the malaria pills. fuck that shit.
