Malaria – A silent killer

 It is a staggering fact that almost 300 – 500 million cases of Malaria are reported every year across the world and about a million people die annually because of Malaria, with about 200,000 of those being infants. Though there is enough help available to restore normalcy once the plasmodium parasite enters your bloodstream, preventing yourself from getting attacked is the best medicine.

There is a strong history of this disease, and unfortunately, it keeps attacking the people belonging to a particular geographic region. Unless you visit an area that is affected by Malaria and come back, carrying the disease with you, chances of you getting attacked in the United States are slim to none. Africa is especially vulnerable to this deadly virus.

Mosquitoes are the culprits when the issue under discussion happens to be malaria. As a result, using mosquito repellant creams and having good quality mosquito nets to sleep in seem to be the best options for people to stay away from the disease.

Another fact with Malaria is that you may continue to lead a normal life, without even understanding that you have been affected by the virus. Then, you may begin to exhibit the tragic symptoms: you start having intermittent fever, severe body ache, nausea, and vomiting. Consulting a physician immediately is the only course of action you should take if you have been in a region with mosquitoes infected with malaria. Do not wait to get help. If you feel that your finances are a bother, you might even consider taking a payday loan to temporarily take care of your issues, rather than gambling with your health while waiting for your paycheck to come in.

 People in Africa and Asia seem to be the worst affected from Malaria. In Africa, there are almost 3000 people dying everyday due to this disease. Despite the efforts of organizations like WHO (World Health Organization) to fight the disease, it continues to be a menacing and deadly culprit. Various medical camps and clinics have been opened in areas prone to Malaria attacks.

It is just not enough to learn the facts related to Malaria and its symptoms. You need to diligently follow the guidelines for Malaria prevention, support the World Health Organization in their efforts to eradicate this disease, and do all that is in your power to help others to do the same
