My husband and I are USMC vets.

Once when his unit was headed for the Phillippines the military decided to experiment on them because they weren't in the US. They always gave them hydroxychloroquine as a malaria preventative but not this one time. Instead they gave them Lariam. It was a disaster. Some Marines got malaria, some got sick.

Later we found that Lariam can cause brain issues, tinnitus, etc.
