Tanga was a Sykaran resistance fighter. She belonged to a minority of Sykarans which had a natural immunity to the effects of the tannot root and as a result did not feel its bliss-inducing effects. Sykarans immune to the root, either naturally or through the use of a Sykaran worm, were considered criminals by the Sykaran government and hunted down and executed for it. Because of this, Tanga, along with her father Hybin, was part of the resistance movement in opposition to her leaders.

The Tanga AIDS Working Group experience has clear potential for replication and scaling up. The generic lessons could be applied in other regions of Tanzania as well as in other countries. However, it is important to keep in mind that any replication and or scaling up will have to adapt the basic approach to the local conditions. Such adaptation is critical to leveraging maximum impact.

Tanga, aka the Woot rip-off, is having a Tangathon right now, which is a rip-off of the Woot-Off. Regardless of their idea stealing, there are some pretty damn good deals. At the time of posting, Tanga has a 10MP Polaroid digital camera for $150, they have ... featured discounts on the new iPod shuffle, some very voyeuristic webcams and a few crappy board games and puzzles. Not too bad, Tanga. More»

With the arrival of Moya to Sykar, Tanga and her colleagues saw a potential opportunity. After passing a cryptic message to Moya's human crew member John Crichton, Tanga had her people forcibly insert the worm into his body to protect him from the root's effect. She and her father later explained their dire situation. Tanga, knowing that time was growing short for her ever weakening father, pleaded with Crichton to seek help for her planet and bring back soldiers and weapons to help them fight.

An evaluation study on the Tanga AIDS Working Group conducted by McMillen et al in 2000, suggests that the medicines administered by TAWG work. A number of patients have reported that the herbal medicines help to increase appetite and weight gain, stop diarrhea, reduce fever, eliminate oral thrush, resolve skin rashes and fungus, cure herpes zoster and clear ulcers. Most patients reported seeing results within 7-30 days of beginning treatment.
