How prevalent is malaria?

With monsoon season coming, there's always talk about mosquito-borne diseases. I'm curious to know, how prevalent is malaria still? I thought it was under control now, but I still hear cases around.

Bro, malaria is super common in India, especially when the monsoon rains start and water gets collected. Don't stress too much, just use good mosquito repellents at home and sleep under a net if needed. If you get a high fever, just get tested quickly.

Totally agree, malaria is very common during seasonal changes. Keeping your surroundings dry and clean is the best way to prevent it.

In our family, we always burn neem leaves or use camphor to keep mosquitoes away because malaria is so common here. But my father always says that if anyone gets a fever, we should directly go to the clinic. Trusting the doctor's tests is the safest path.

Actually, malaria is still a big issue here, yaar, especially during the Mumbai rains. The local municipal corporation tries to spray medicine, but we have to be careful ourselves too. Just don't let water accumulate in your balcony plants.

Malaria has been with us for a long time, but with the right care and a peaceful mind, we can overcome it. Just keep your home pure, prevent water clogging, and trust the recovery process. God bless you with good health.

Malaria remains highly prevalent in many regions of India, particularly during the wet months. While basic preventive measures are helpful, any high fever with chills requires immediate medical attention. It is always best to consult a doctor and get a blood smear test.
