The voltage would have to be checked, but it may not be the issue - availability of electricity could be an issue - You know how these things go - when you don't need it - it's always on - When one has a turkey in the oven, or is sick and needs CS, the power goes off. My little unit needs charging for 12 hours before initial use. Consistent power is an issue of greater magnitude in some third world areas.

However in a third world country one must consider such thing as 1. electricity challenges - frequency of service i don't know about trem's machines, but the silverpuppy will work on almost any incoming voltage... the worries below might also cover expensive and scarce antibiotics: 2. the instrument is not 'detained' at customs 3. the machine is not 'broken' 4. the machine does not 'disappear' 5. superstition 6. spoils of war... 7. other political interests ......etc...

My parents are heading to Africa for a 1-year mission through their church and in my Mom's words are "going to be taking antibiotics every day to prevent malaria". I inherently mistrust blanket statements like that, but after lurking for years on this list I know that those particular blanket statements are begging to be examined...any light to be shed? Are there good reasons why my Mom's doctor would be prescribing antibiotics for daily use for malaria prevention? Should I question her further about this? Thanks in advance...
