malaria is a disease caused by a parasite called Plasmodium that is spread to humans by insects. If Malaria is not treated, it will take 2 weeks for the disease to take full effect on the body and eliminate one.

Yes, malaria is very often fatal if not treated.
Yes, if left untreated, or poorly treated, Malaria can kill. Thousands of people die every year (in third and fourth world countries, primarily), due to Malaria infections.
That is not possible. It may take up to six months to develop the immunity. Falciparum malaria will kill you very shortly. You have to take treatment for malaria.
Malaria can be fatal. Fatal means that it could kill you if not treated right away. Approximately 1,500 people that get malaria approximately 12 will die. Not everyone dies but it is a deadly disease so take it seriously. Take a look at the malaria link in the related links section.
Malaria parasites become resistant to drugs used to treat them. Also the mosquitoes which carry the parasites also become resistant to insecticide drugs which are used to kill them. This process is occurring in malaria hotspots worldwide.
