Quinine

By itself, if artesonate is not available, then we can go to artemether.

Quinine is the third option.

If the other two are not available or not able to be used for whatever reason, maybe the patient had some sort of reaction to artesonate or artemether before.

And then, as mentioned, they need to take this full oral treatment or that ACT combo.

And so we see varied absorption in individuals.

And so artemisther is an option, but certainly not something that is usually going to rise to kind of be the top of the line.

Quinine as well is still an option.

We just have to watch out for side effects of these individuals.

Stevia, Leap,

Extract, and Quinine.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The problem is that there are a bunch of people in Peru who do not want quinine exiting the country because they have a monopoly on it, and if it gets out of the country and out of their hands, they will no longer be able to have that monopoly.

And so there's a bunch of people who are trying to stop anyone from getting in, and they have suspicions about why this man is there.

When he gets there, he gets given a guide from one of these, like, poachers, from one of these, like, Quinine barons, essentially.

And the guide is a priest from a town called Bedlam, which is actually Bethlehem, which is a leper colony.

And when he gets to the town, he is there with another man, another British man, who is part of the expedition.

And they are essentially trying to figure out how they can escape into the forest to get to the Quinine, to get the Quinine back to the ship, to get the ship back to India.

But there's all of these sorts of like strange things that keep happening and things I think seem abnormal to him when he's there and like witnessing this village and particularly around the priest that is looking after him, looking after him, actually trying to stop him from escaping.

getting into the forest to steal the quinine.
