Should i take doxycycline

2017-08-31 11:14:41
Day before yesterday during the extreme water logging I walked back home through water. It was up till my mid thigh. I heard that anyone who walked through water should take doxycycline -100 to avoid leptospirosis. Should I do so? If yes, what should be the dosage?
