Judicious use of insect repellent sprays or sticks, which may not always be obtainable in remote places or countries, sleeping under a proper mosquito net and avoidance of areas near open stretches of water at dusk, dawn and night when mosquitoes are at their most active, can go a long way towards warding off this dreadful disease which can cause a period of debilitating illness.
In order to be infected by Malaria, you need three things:
* A female Anopheles mosquito,
* Who had dined on an already infected carrier?
* exposed skin on your body
There is little you can do about the first two items other than avoiding the area where these mosquitos’ occur, but repellent spray and use of proper netting will give you the upper hand.
