My cousin is moving to the USA for a new job, and we were discussing health concerns. I know malaria is common in some parts of India, but I'm curious, is there malaria in the USA? Should she be taking precautions for it?

In our times we used to worry a lot about diseases when traveling abroad, but USA has been free of malaria for a very long time. I have visited my son there multiple times and never faced any mosquito issues. You can travel without any fear.

Even though it is rare, please don't take any fever lightly. I had severe complications from malaria years ago because I delayed seeing a doctor. If you are in the USA and get high fever with shivering, go to an urgent care clinic immediately.

No, it is extremely rare there. Please don't worry and have a safe trip.

Haan na, malaria ka darr to rehta hai, but USA mein actually yeh problem nahi hai. They have very clean surroundings. So relax, vahan tension lene ki bilkul zaroorat nahi hai.

My son is studying in Chicago and he never faced any mosquito trouble. If you are still worried, just buy a local bug spray there for peace of mind, especially during summer outings. Otherwise, it is quite safe.

I checked the CDC health travel advisories on my app recently. USA is listed as low risk for malaria. You don't need any malaria tablets or special vaccines for traveling there.

Hello! Rest assured, malaria is not active in the USA anymore. They only see rare cases when travelers return from other countries. Just pack your regular personal medications and enjoy your travel.
