Contest: Leaving no room for Malaria

The rainy season has arrived, and mosquito season has returned. Malaria is a severe public health concern, killing thousands of people globally. The lack of a preventive system and cheap healthcare services complicates matters.

Malaria is not a contagious disease it cannot be transmitted from one person to another, so the only way it can be transmitted is by a mosquito bite .

Malaria medications have now doubled, if not quadrupled, making it difficult for middle and low-income people to manage.

Back then at my childhood days, my mum would always touch me and my siblings regularly to feel our temperature, open our eyes and observe the Colour of our hands to be sure we're Normal. Anti malaria was always administered to us. So this made me not to take malaria too serious.

Whenever people say malaria could kill someone, I would just look at the person as if they don't know what they are saying, because it not my fault. Someone was fighting my malaria battles, and all I was doing was to cry and struggle to free myself whenever they give me injection.

How do people get Malaria, mention 5 things we can do to it.

People can get malaria when a mosquito that is infected with the plasmodium parasite bites a person, Malaria is a serious disease that spreads when you’re bitten by a mosquito infected by malaria parasites. When it bites, the mosquito injects malaria parasites into your bloodstream. Malaria is caused by the parasites, not by a virus or by a type of bacterium.

If left untreated, malaria can cause severe health problems such as seizures, brain damage, trouble breathing, organ failure and death.

The 5 things that we can do to stop malaria are as follows

1. It is all advice able we make our environment clean because when your environment is dirty that means you are giving rooms for mosquitoes...

2. It is all advice able we all should always sleep inside mosquito nets to avoid the bite of mosquitoes, and also dust the net before entry.

3. It is adviceable we all should repair any spoil windows and spray pesticides in a each room to control mosquito, for the part of the windows because they will be passing there to come in your house, it not only mosquito bites that gives maleria, stress and many more...

4. Avoiding storing any water in your house like for 4 to 5 days because mosquito will surely come and it can help spread lots of mosquitoes around the environment and dirty water helps mosquitoes to breathe.

5. Always eat healthy food because your body system can fight for you..

Give some signs of Malaria, and why is it important to find it early.

when a person is infected with malaria, Surly there will be signs for him or her to know that it maleria, they are:

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS.

(1) Fever and sweating.

(2) Chills that shake your whole body.

(3) Headache and muscle aches, especially Head

(4) Fatigue.

(5) Chest pain, breathing problems and sometimes cough.

(6) Diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.

(7) As malaria gets worse, it can cause anemia and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes).

So if you are experiencing some of the above symptoms seek medical attention as soon as possible, malaria can lead a person to an early grave and can affect a person's nervous system thereby making a person behave abnormally.

How does Malaria affect communities, and what can we do to fight it?

Malaria affects communities in the difference way, Mosquitoes breathe inside stagnant erosion water, this is to say that mosquitoes will be available in those communities that are found with the habit of keeping stagnant erosion water and even dirty water.

Mosquitoes also live in communities where there are much Bush so it is adviceable that the community people should always clear there bush to prevent them from mosquitoes. We can only control malaria through cutting of cutting off the bush in our communities and in our environment...

We can also control malaria by health educating the community members on the use of mosquito nets and pesticide use, because people use there mosquito nets to cover their plants 😂😂😂.

Why are mosquitoes linked to Malaria, and how can we control them to stop the disease?

Mosquitoes are linked to malaria because Female anopheles mosquito is noiseless. Many people believe that they don’t get bitten by mosquitoes, especially if they don’t hear them buzzing sound, the female mosquitoes are the responsible for spreading the parasite.. Once this infected mosquito bites a person, the person will be infected with the disease.
