What causes a person to be sweating one minute and shivering the next?
That person may be suffering from chills.Chills AKA Rigor is defined as:Rigor is a shaking occurring during a high fever. It occurs because cytokines and prostaglandins are released as part of an immune response and increase the set point for body temperature in the hypothalamus. The increased set point causes the body temperature to rise (pyrexia), but also makes the patient feel cold until the new set point is reached. Rigor occurs because the patient is effectively shivering in a physiological attempt to increase body temperature to the new set point.
How is malaria spread from person to person?
Malaria is spread by female mosquitoes. The parasite which causes malaria is found in the female mosquitoes saliva. When a person is bitten by a female mosquito, the parasite enters the bloodstream via the mosquitoes saliva. However, there are also other ways for malaria to be spread. A pregnant woman can pass malaria onto her baby. Someone using a needle that has been used by a person with malaria can infect that person. Having a blood transfusion from someone who has malaria can also pass it on to someone else.be careful.
