Malaria is a highly infectious disease. Once it is infected, it will do great harm to the body. Let's share the knowledge about whether malaria can be prevented.

Can malaria be prevented

First, it is most important to prevent mosquito bites. We should change the habit of sleeping in the open and encourage everyone to use mosquito nets. To prevent mosquito bites, in the peak period of Anopheles activity (shortly after dusk), personal protection should be done well. Appropriate clothing, such as long sleeves and trousers, can be worn. Especially outdoors, repellents can be applied to exposed skin. In addition to personal protection, family protection should be done well. Mosquito net, screen door and screen window can be used, and mosquito killer can be sprayed in the bedroom before going to bed. In recent years, the mosquito nets soaked with pyrethroid insecticides have achieved good results.
