Malaria

Malaria is bad

to keap the world in balance

Mosquitoes must bite an infected human and eat the infected human's blood, before that mosquito can then bite an uninfected human and transfer the disease. Malaria is common in some areas of the world but much less common in the USA, Canada, and eastern overseas countries like the UK, Ireland, Spain, etc.

In the developed countries, we also have more access to medications to treat illness, as well as more access to chemicals to kill mosquitoes.

Sickle-cell anemia

That is not good

They are fairly normal mosquitoes except for the fact that they carry malaria. You can kill any one of them in all the normal ways (insecticides, swatting etc).

In malaria prone regions some attempts at disease reduction are often undertaken by using pesticides to reduce the mosquito population. This is somewhat effective but, unfortunately, probably never will succeed in completely eradicating the mosquito and with them malaria. The mosquitoes tend to develop resistance to the pesticides (so they no longer work) and there are just too many of them in hard to reach places for that to be successful

You can get malaria from mosquitoes in America. Although it is more rare to get it in America than it is in continents such as Africa and South America.

No, there isn't. But there is a preventative medication one can take while in malaria-infested areas to keep the disease from taking hold even if one would get exposed to it.

Bitter melon is certainly used in several countries to treat and prevent Malaria, but there do not appear to be any studies which support this.

I have a Filipino friend who got maleria at the age of 8. Her mother told her to drink the bitter melon drink she gave her and she would get well and she did.

Each year, there are more than 225 million cases of malaria, killing around 781,000 people each year according to the latest WHO Report. The majority of deaths are of young children in sub-Saharan Africa. Ninety percent of malaria-related deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa.

WHENEVER YOU travel to a foreign country, you should always speak to your healthcare professional about the proper innoculations required for the area you will be travelling to. Certain countries require different preventive innoculations than others. About malaria, which is any group of diseases characterized by attacks of chills, fever and sweating, is contracted by mosquitoes carrying the disease. Once in your bloodstream, it attacks your red blood cells. Since mosquitoes are everywhere, a doctor can check reference books and see which countries are more dangerous than others for getting malaria. You should carry QUININE pills and take them as a preventative measure, which your doctor can prescribe for you. More up to date antimalarial drugs are: atovaquone/proguanil; doxycycline; and mefloquine. Drinking quinine water (regular tonic water) is also a good idea. ALSO, if you are travelling with children, make sure that they see their pediatrician for innoculations and advice about possible diseases; some diseases that make adults sick, can kill a child (and also the elderly). As long as you are prepared with the proper innocculations and information before you travel, you can enjoy the trip instead of worring about getting sick in a foreign land. Hope you enjoy your trip, and have found my answer useful! A web site that is a MUST SEE for foreign travel, including specific destinations and vaccinations is: www.cdc.gov/travel An important fact to remember is that you need to get vaccinated WEEKS before travel so that the medication has time to take effect. Some medication you need to continue taking for a set time period AFTER you return home. ALSO, some parts of Africa (and probably other countries as well) you actually have to carry certain VACCINATION CERTIFICATES with you in order to be allowed into the country and travel around. Well it depends if it's a high risk region or not... but since you said all areas of the country (I assume you mean continent :P ) I'll give you the information for a high risk area. The most potent combination for this region would be a combination of chloroquine and proguanil. For adults 300mg chloroquine once weekly, starting one week before going, then weekly whilst your there and for six weeks after returning and 200mg proguanil once daily, starting one week before going, daily whilst there and for four weeks after returning. These would need to be prescribed by a doctor. I don't know about other countries, but you'd have to pay the price of the actual drugs rather than the standard prescription charge in the UK. Hope this helps. If you want to give me details about areas and the age of the travellers I could give you more accurate information.

The spleen is the body's reservoir for blood and also plays a role in red blood cell development. When a person has either malaria or sickle cell anemia the body tries to make more blood available, so the extra amount is stored in the spleen.
