MALARIA PREVENTION

BY: SHAFT SINKERS

MALARIA IS TRANSMITTED BY THE BITE OF AN INFECTED MOSQUITO IN ALL THESE AREA’S BELOW

USE MOSQUITO NETS ALL THE TIME WHEN SLEEPING

USE MOSQUITO NETS AND REPLANT SPRAY’S

WHEN YOU ARE PLANNING TO GO OUTDOORS AFTER DARK OR EARLY IN THE MORNING:

The mosquito that carries malaria comes more at dawn (when the sun comes up) and dusk (when the sun goes down.) Be most careful at these times. Wear long trousers and shirts with long sleeves. Wear mosquitoes repellent (This is a chemical that mosquitoes do not like, so they do not bite/feed.) Mosquitoes will bite through thin cloth. So repellent should be used on skin and clothes.

Pesticides can be used in rooms to kill mosquitoes. When sleeping outside, people use a mosquito net. This is made from cloth that air can go through but keeps mosquitoes out. It is put over a bed where people sleep to keep mosquitoes out. Sometimes people also use it when they are not sleeping. It is best to use mosquito nets that have been treated with Permethrin, which repels and kills mosquitoes.

MAKE SURE ALL AREA’S IN AND AROUND YOUR HOUSE ARE KEPT CLEAN AND DISINFECTED REGULARY

JAUNDICE:Malaria can cause jaundice, which causes the skin and the white areas of the eyes (sclera) to turn orange-yellow.

This is caused by hyperbilirubinemia - too much bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a pigment which results when the body breaks down old red blood cells.
