What is "malaria"?
Malaria is a serious and often life-threatening disease caused by parasites spread to humans through the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. Symptoms typically include fever, chills, sweats, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue. In serious cases, malaria can lead to complications such as organ failure and death. The disease is most common in tropical and subtropical regions, where the Anopheles mosquito thrives. Prevention measures include using insect repellent, sleeping under bed nets, and taking antimalarial medication when traveling to regions with a lot of malaria. Early diagnosis and quick treatment with antimalarial medications are crucial for effective management of the disease.
