How to prevent Malaria?

It is very easy to prevent even serious disease like malaria if we build up a little bit awareness. Consult to your doctor about anti-malarial medication. Most deadly malaria cases are in Africa. People often travel to malaria areas without taking the medication they might be fine, but you need to know that malaria still kills a lot of people every year. We should use insect repellent, mosquito nets and wearing loose clothing to avoid being bitten in the first place.

We should clean our environment especially nearby our house. Indoor residual spraying insecticides on the interior walls of homes in malaria affected areas is also very useful. After feeding, many mosquito species rest on a nearby surface while digesting the blood meal, so if the walls of dwellings have been coated with insecticides, the resting mosquitoes will be killed before they can bite another victim, transferring the malaria parasite.
