Malaria Philippines

Say No to Malaria in the Philippines

Malaria in the Philippines is a kind of disease that gets spread through the bite of an infected mosquito. Malaria can cause an infection of red blood cells which, when left untreated, can also be fatal.

Similar to most diseases, it is always better to prevent malaria as much as possible instead of merely treating it.

Symptoms of Malaria

When you are starting to develop malaria, you will often start to feel unwell between 9 to 14 days following the infection. You may also experience the following:

• Excessive sweating
• Fever that may come and go
• Aching joints and headache
• Jaundice or yellowing of the eyes and skin
• Stomachache, nausea, and possibly vomiting or diarrhea

When left untreated, malaria may even cause cerebral malaria or brain infection, kidney failure, seizures, anemia, coma, and worst, even death. Malaria can happen months following the infection and there are certain types that can occur again years later.

Who is Prone to Malaria?

Malaria is very common in parts of the Middle East, the Pacific Islands, South and Central America, Africa, and Asia, such as the Philippines. When you travel to places that are malaria-infected, it is a must to take all the necessary precautions so that you can avoid getting infected.

Anyone can get affected by malaria but pregnant women are specifically at risk. Pregnant women can have a more severe case of malaria and this can also increase the risks of premature birth, stillbirth, and miscarriage. Young children have a higher risk as well and they can become rapidly ill once they get infected.

Ways to Prevent Malaria

If you will travel to an area infected with malaria, see to it that you take anti-malarial medication. This medication should be taken before, during, and even after travel. Your travel clinic or doctor will be able to tell you if the place you will be visiting is affected and can also give you the necessary prescription. Some medicines for malaria, like chloroquine, can be safely consumed during breastfeeding or pregnancy. Others are not advisable to take. For you to avoid getting bitten by malaria-infected mosquitoes, make sure you do the following:

• Stay inside your house at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are often most active.
• Wear light-colored clothes and covered footwear outside that will cover most parts of your body.
• Wear mosquito repellent that contains diethyltoluamide or DEET. Use this sparingly on kids and avoid their mouth, eyes, and hands. For pregnant women, always check with your physician first.
• Spray quality mosquito repellent on your clothes.
• Burn mosquito coils if you are outdoors.
• Use vaporizing mats or pyrethrum insect sprays inside.
• Install an insect or magnetic mosquito screen.

These are just some of the precautions you can take to keep you and your family protected from malaria. Malaria is a serious condition that can take away lives. Never let malaria affect you or your loved ones. Call us today, the insect screen Philippines specialist!
