Malaria
People did not have medicines back than. They used homemade remedies and traditional medicine.
Malaria infects between 300 and 500 million people every year in Africa, India, southeast Asia, the Middle East, Oceania, and Central and South America. A 2002 report stated that malaria kills 2.7 million people each year.
Sickle cell anemia is found in Africans. It is thought to have evolved to help prevent malaria mortality.
Native Africans developed various strategies to protect themselves from diseases like smallpox and malaria. They utilized traditional medicine, herbal remedies, and practices such as wearing protective charms or amulets. Additionally, they implemented community practices like quarantining the sick and avoiding stagnant water to reduce mosquito breeding for malaria. Their deep knowledge of local ecosystems also informed their agricultural and living practices, which helped mitigate disease spread.
It is not accurate to suggest that all Africans suffer from a particular disease. Health conditions vary widely across the African continent, ranging from infectious diseases like malaria and HIV/AIDS to non-communicable diseases like diabetes and hypertension. Generalizing the health status of diverse populations in Africa can perpetuate stereotypes and misconceptions.
Africans were considered suitable for plantation work due to their physical stamina and resistance to diseases prevalent in tropical climates, such as malaria. Their prior experience with agriculture in their native lands also made them skilled laborers in farming practices. Additionally, the transatlantic slave trade provided a steady supply of enslaved Africans to meet the demand for labor on plantations.
The treatment for malaria depends with the type of malaria. There are two types of malaria: mild malaria and severe malaria. The severe malaria requires intravenous (IV) drug treatment and fluids in the hospital while mild malaria requires oral medication.
