Malaria has
plagued humans for millennia. Despite scientific and technological progress, we
have failed to create a vaccine for this lethal disease. Malaria, which is
caused by a bite from a female Anopheles mosquito, can cause catastrophic
complications, including numerous organ failures and death. Malaria mortality
has been dropping over the years, but researchers have just discovered a new
strain of malaria mosquitos that are immune to our current treatments and medications.
This should make us better prepared to combat malaria.
Keeping our
homes and surroundings clean is the most effective strategy to prevent malaria.
The best method to avoid malaria is to have a strong civic sense. It is
critical that you organize a presidential task team to ensure and carry out the
same.
Here are a few easy ways to avoid
malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases:
Apply oil to the water's surface - Oils can be applied to the water's
surface. The larvae and pupae are suffocated as a result of this. You can do
the same thing with vegetable or kerosene oil.
Fog them out — Have fogging done in your area
before the rainy season begins, and repeat at appropriate intervals.
Fogging aids
in the killing of mosquitoes that may be lurking in certain areas.
No standing water - Do not store water in coolers,
tiny pits, or tires. Mosquitoes can thrive in these environments. It is
preferable to ensure that storage areas do not have any standing water. If you
discover this after rain, you should clean the area quickly.
Pet the right fish — keeping mosquito fish (Gambusia)
in small bodies of water can help control mosquito larva. This is due to the
fact that these fish eat mosquito larvae. If you live near a large body of
water, this will be useful.
Dress appropriately - Wear appropriate cloth,
particularly in the evening. Clothes should cover your extremities and be
calming. Cotton garments are preferred, and they must be light in color.
Use mosquito repellent lotions and
bands- There are a
variety of over-the-counter mosquito repellent creams and bands available. The
same will keep you secure even while you are sitting in a garden or playing
outside.
Use mosquito nets - This is the most basic and
unsuccessful method of keeping mosquitos at bay. When a person is sleeping,
they are most vulnerable. Using mosquito netting exposes you to no dangerous
mosquito compounds and causes no harm to your health.
Use window nets — Make sure your windows are
well-covered and shuttered. If you want fresh air to enter the house, cover the
windows with nets to prevent mosquitoes from entering.
Get a shot – Use antimalarial prophylaxis
before visiting endemic areas.
Prevention is better to cure - The cornerstone of preventing its
spread is an effective therapy. Consult a physician right away if you have a high
fever, chills, nausea, or weakness.
