How do u get malaria?

Monsoon season has started, and there are so many mosquitoes around in our area. I'm worried about diseases like malaria, especially for my children. Can you tell me how a person usually gets malaria, so I can take precautions?

My thyroid fluctuations require me to keep my immunity high, as getting infections like malaria can really derail my recovery. Malaria is caused by a parasite transmitted through female Anopheles mosquito bites. Make sure to get blood tests done immediately if you run a high fever.

You get malaria from mosquito bites in areas with stagnant water, especially during monsoon. Don't waste time trying home remedies if you have shivering and fever. Just visit a clinic, get the rapid malaria test, and start the prescribed course to save office leave and health.

In our younger days, almost everyone got malaria once during the rainy season. It is a simple parasitic infection that a standard 3-day course of doctor's medicine cures completely. Just keep your surroundings clean and don't panic.

I log my symptoms on my health tracker whenever I feel feverish. Malaria spreads when an infected mosquito bites you, injecting the Plasmodium parasite. Using mosquito repellents and keeping your balcony free of standing water is the best tech-free hack.

My roommate just got diagnosed with this. Can malaria spread directly from one person to another if we share the same room, or is it only through mosquitoes?
