Wormwood based malaria drug overused?


There is a cheap drug used to cure malaria...it's based on an herb, wormwood...and has been used sucessfully in Asia...

But the WHO worries that if it is overused, resistance will occur....so they are banning it's use unless you mix it with a second drug...but the second drug increases the cost and makes people sick...so people are ignoring his warnings...
