Medications to Prevent Malaria - Internet

<p>There cannot be a mass treatment regime for everyone as the causal factors will vary greatly even among members of one family or the same household. I speak from the practical experiences that I have had over two decades working in the "trenches" of the "malaria jungle" in Africa.If by chance your body shows symptoms of fever, chills, nausea, fatigue, shaking, vomiting, etc, consult your doctor immediately so as to get proper medical attention. Do not ignore these symptoms as they might prove fatal to your life.Humans have been succumbing to malaria since earliest times, the enlarged spleens of some Egyptian mummies are surviving traces of its presence. Hippocrates described the 'autumnal fever' in Greece. The association of malaria with the Pontine Marshes in Rome was well established. Alexander the Great is thought to have died on the banks of the Euphrates from malaria in 323 BC. Malaria may have stopped the armies of both Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan Even the dinosa
urs may have suffered from malaria. If this is true, the disease has had ample time to exploit the immune system. Mice, birds, porcupines, lemurs, monkeys, bats, snakes and flying squirrels have malaria. The mosquito and its parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, are ancient creatures.The parasite, Plasmodium falciparum is now so entrenched and resistant to so many drugs that the potent strains can hardly be controlled. Several unprosperous regions have reached the brink of total malarial collapse, virtually ruled by swarms of buzzing, flying syringes. Zambia is one of these nations where development is almost impossible because of the sluggishness and ill health of most of the population. Malaria is transported by the female mosquito. When an infected mosquito bites, she transmits malaria parasites to her victim who falls ill. Malaria has an incubation of 10-21 days but may be longer. In humans, the malarial parasites (called sporozoites) after being released into the bloodstream
from a mosquito bite, migrate to the liver where they mature and release another form, the malarial merozoites. Malaria is a leading cause of death and disease worldwide, especially in developing countries. Most death s occur in young children.Some strains of mosquito born malaria are worse than others. Up to 500 million people experience a bout of malaria each year, suffering anemia, fever, chills, headache, muscle aches and weakness, vomiting, coughing, diarrhoea and abdominal pain, followed by internal bleeding, kidney and liver failure and can result in coma and death. People with malaria can die if they do not receive proper medical treatment.The best way to prevent malaria (or other diseases caused by mosquito bites) is to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. However, for most of us, we're not even aware mosquitoes are around until we've been bitten; children are even more susceptible. Both Dr Charlie Easmon and Mount Sinai Hospital say, the best ways to avoid mosquitoes
are denying them the opportunity to thrive near your place (stagnant water), having screens in your windows and doors, spraying of insecticide inside the house, applying insect repellent lotion on the skin, and even using mosquito nets.This Malaria Initiative educates women in poor rural areas about malaria; brings them access to subsidized, insecticide treated bednets; and provides linkages to local health services for treatment. Education, provided in the form of role-play, story and song, is the key because it teaches women who have never been to school how to prevent malaria, when and how to treat it, and even how to organize community safeguards.There is only one vaccine in existence to fight cholera, (UCF). However, it is too expensive for people of developing or underdeveloped countries to afford. So, outbreaks commonly occur in these countries after floods or other natural disasters because people are unable to buy the vaccine. So, children lose immunity after three
years of getting the vaccine if they did get it in the first place, (UCF).These days, traditional medical methods and treatments are widely used to treat malaria, and are often more readily available and much cheaper than Western medicine, however, traditional medicine is s not without imits, as obviously there are few established clinical data on a specific herb's safety and efficacy, and there is generally less consensus, even among traditional healers, on which plants, mixtures or doses are the most effective. Lastly, the extent and concentration of active ingredients in a specific plant may considerably vary, and would depend on several factors.
