  • Fruits (mostly juices) and veggies (cooked).
  • A light carbohydrate diet with no fats, preferably obtained from vegetables and fruits, should be followed.
  • For at least two weeks, all fats such as ghee, butter, cream, and oils must be avoided; after that, butter and olive oil may be included in the diet, but their consumption should be limited to a minimum.
  • Limit or avoid foods high in fat, spice, and sugar.
  • Apply permethrin-containing mosquito repellent on clothing, shoes, camping equipment, and bed netting.
