Suppositories kill deadliest malaria parasites fast

Really. Who has the eyes to find the malaria bug's butthole, the coordination to shove the suppository up it and the time for either?

"Suppositories derived from sweet wormwood kill the deadliest malaria parasites quickly and offer a stop-gap treatment for people in remote areas until they can reach a hospital, researchers said on Friday.

Their study found that a single dose of any artemisinin derivative given rectally was better at clearing parasites after 24 hours than a conventional injection of the older drug quinine for people with severe malaria.

The researchers published their findings in the journal BMC Infectious Diseases."

Really.
