How does a person get malaria?
This monsoon, the mosquitoes are really bad in our area, and I'm worried about getting sick. My neighbor just got malaria. Can someone explain how a person gets malaria, and how to avoid it?

You get malaria when an infected female Anopheles mosquito bites you! They carry the parasite and transfer it into your blood. So make sure to use mosquito repellent and keep your surroundings dry.

It spreads through infected mosquito bites. If you have diabetes, getting an infection like malaria can fluctuate your blood sugar levels significantly. Stick to plain water or unsweetened fluids, and make sure to consult your doctor immediately for proper medication.

I got malaria last monsoon. It simply happens when an infected mosquito bites you and passes the parasite into your bloodstream. If you start shivering with a high fever, go get a blood test done right away, don't waste time.

It is transmitted solely through the bite of an infected Anopheles mosquito. Please consult a doctor if you have high fever with chills.

Malaria is a parasitic infection spread by mosquito bites. When you are down with it, your body's energy levels drop completely, so avoid any workouts and focus on resting. Clean eating and hydration will help you recover faster once the doctor starts your treatment.
