What Is Malaria Prevention?
Malaria prevention involves a combination of strategies:
Antimalarial Medication: Reduces the risk of infection by targeting the malaria parasite. The type of medication depends on the region you're visiting and your medical history.
Avoiding Mosquito Bites: Prevent bites by using insect repellents containing DEET, wearing long clothing, and sleeping under mosquito nets.
Prompt Diagnosis: Seek medical attention immediately if you develop fever or flu-like symptoms during or after travel to a malaria-risk area.
Antimalarial tablets must be taken before, during, and after your trip, so it’s crucial to plan ahead.
